Jones springs for the rear springs.

Bushes (poly bushes are recommended) and 'U' bolts can be obtained from ESM Morris.

The pickup does not have rubber axle seats but the solid plates. They can be exchanged for rubber or poly pads.
Note: The pickup front spring eye bushes are a different size to the saloon. The rear eye and chassis bushes are the same as the saloon.
All bushes and rubber/poly spring pads can be obtained from ESM Morris. The solid plates are no longer available.

Phil's (as usual) excellent reply gives you all the information that you need to get the parts needed to replace the rear springs. I am just querying your use of the word "upgrade" - what exactly do you want to achieve? Greater load capacity, softer ride, different height? Might it be a change of damper that you need? Why do you need to change the current setup? Just want to make sure that we give the most appropriate advice.
