Interesting subject and as I have found on other car forums very variable
opinions.
I have 2 Quantum 2+2's in my possesion and my first one had some standard
type shocks fitted and the car was almost lethal with its RS turbo lump as
it tried successfully to torque steer all over the road when full throttle
was applied.
Jim Hearne and others gave sound advice and I fitted adjustable Spax with
1.4 Fiesta standard front springs and 1100 Fiesta rears and the car is up
there with the Lotus 7 types on track days.
My second 2+2 has Gaz adjustables fitted and when I bought the car it did
not handle well with a soggy rear that steered the car on corners and I
found that going stiffer (I think 4 clicks) cured the problem and it handles
fine. As for spring rates I dont know what is fitted but the fronts seem
approx same as the 1.4 Fiesta as does the rear seem the same as 1100 Fiesta
neither car is too low and despite our Hampshire third world potholed tracks
does not bottom out.
I like adjustables merely because you can make the car suit yourself.

In regards to the rear springs, you said you just left the springs you had
on. Would it be worth getting front coilovers instead and leaving the rears
as they are? Here's the link:
