Coil spring conversion is definately the way to go.
cheaper than 4 new MCU's (elastomers)  I think?
definately better and more cost effective in the long run.
I did mine on my XP-X (856) 6 years ago (Speedsprings) and it's great, just need to get around to doing the oil weight conversion on the ODS's.................!

Hi,
   I have a rear Eibach MS Pro 5 coil spring (450lbs/in) and an oil dampened ODS unit for an 856 if you are interested. All you need are the bushings fron yer existing shock.

Hi Frenchman,
                     just to let you know unfortunately someone else has snapped it up.

Good luck in finding a replacement yourself.

cheers
