Having driven series with seven on board [ and more actually when young and foolish] I would say there is no such spring available that would do both ends of your scale well
New Standard springs I recon and drive with consideration when loaded.
 
Are you wondering which part numbers to order or seeking views on parabolics, I got these last year from Blanchard well happy , can take a heavy load yet good to drive when I’m in

Assuming the vehicle in your avatar is the one you are talking about, it looks like a hard top.

As far as I know, it isn't legal to carry people in the back of a hard top on the road, unless you modify it to have seats in the back, and seat belts if after a certain date.

Or maybe you are talking about driving on private land, or in a jurisdiction other than the UK?
 
Hi was that with your family in the back of it or just a few people?
Today been collecting heavy sodden manure for allotment about 1” off bump stops must have been 400-500kg , other times builders rubble but over road ramps slowly it bounced on the stops, your other option may be to renovate the springs which work well sometimes

I always thought Series rode better with a bit of weight in the back, takes a bit of the bounce out of the ride.

I'm doing one up it's just a photo I took when buying it. I've bought this with windows and a roll cage for safety.
