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.



let me know. I live in the UK.

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

Good luck in finding a replacement yourself.

cheers
