I can't offer you a make to choose, we have different choices of manufacturers in the UK, but,If you could tell us the length of your shocks fitted at the moment it may help us hiboy roadster owners help you choose a suitable rated spring. I had 160lb 10" springs which were way too soft (needed a lot of preload)and now have 250lb which gives a firm ride but not uncomfortable ( i have to run fenders over here so choosing the right spring was crucial). It also allows for weight of passengers and luggage.
I would go for anything between 200-250lb depending on the length of shock, you can always add preload and adjust damping. Ideally they should compress down 25% with the weight of the car with fuel and driver, (not easy to work out).I presume you don't carry passengers in the rumble seat?
