Does anyone know where I could buy some front springs for my Trad. other than direct from MMC and/or one of the dealers? If I can save the dealers rather large margin, I will.

Made by Eibach. There's a feature in this month's Mog Mag.

I have some old sets of springs in my bits box that came off two 2007 cars and one 2011 car and all are stamped as made by Suplex, they were all changed for going soft and the suspension bottoming over bumps, maybe MMC have changed supplier recently?

That could explain it, the Williams site section about Suplex quote them as the current supplier to MMC, my old (2002) car had the blue springs but both my 2008 cars, and the 2007 and 2011 cars I mentioned had Suplex OE springs.
If your later car has black springs I bet they are Suplex supplied?

Talk with Henry at Williams, Suplex make springs that work and a selection of lbs, so you tune it to how you want, comfort or firmer for a sporty drive.

Colin - I didn't notice any markings on Bumbles springs but they were black.
