my coil springs are tired causing a little camber i know camber can be cause by many things like sagging engine or transmission support or worn out bushing but they are ok i would like to replace my coils with original 72 lbs spring my rear is really low and causes camber i suspect the coils are not supporting the weight as they should
any suggestions where i can get only the coils for the rear
thanks

Since you are in Quebec, I would try Alpine-America (http://www.alpine-america.qc.ca). Michel runs the place and he specializes on Lotus and Renault. He would probably either have them or know where to get them. r.d. enterprises (http://www.rdent.com) probably has them and Dave Bean, on the other side of the US probably has them too. Across the pond, SJ Sportscars (https://www.sjsportscars.com) likely has them. If not, you could try Lotus Spares (https://www.lotus-supplies.com/parts/). Also AVO sells springs also (http://www.avouk.com/Products_COMPETITION_SPRINGS.htm).
Be sure you tell them you want the stock spring rate and free length. They may have their own ideas of what works best. If you end up calling AVO, you'll have to tell them the rate, free length, and diameter (1.9" or 1 15/16 ID).

Spring specs are in the manual. Measure your inner and outer spring diameter. You can just order springs from many suppliers online.
