Kilen coil springs 200 1991

Has anyone heard of Kilen??? It's supposedly a Swedish spring manufacturer. I want to repace my rear springs and was considering Kilen as an option. Does anyone know if the quality is good? And exactly how stiff are the so called "heavy duty" springs they are selling for both the 244 and the 245? I am almost convinced that I should buy the hevy duty version for my 245, but should I buy it also for my 244?

Kilen was an independent manufacturer until the mid-90s, when they were bought by Lesjöfors. I do not much about their springs, but Lesjöfors is a well-known brand here in Scandinavia and generally considered as good quality. There is not much Kilen stuff on the net, even this link won't tell you all that much: http://www.firstline.co.uk/products/kilenloweringkits.htm

Not much help, sorry.

Erling.
