Coil spring options

I need front and rear springs for a standard suspension refresh. Not interested in all the fancy lowered and adjustable stuff, just a one for one OEM equivalent.
I have done this many times and always used Suplex, but time is short and they appear to be currently out of stock.
So I am looking for the next best option.
I fitted KYB fronts for someone and they were ok but the bottom didn’t have that specific shape to locate in the strut.

What other options are good?
Lesfojors? Kilen? Any others?
 
I've had Lesjöfors springs on the 3.0si for roughly 3000 miles, nothing untoward with them as yet. Had Suplex on the 2.5i and can't tell a difference between the two. They're about as awkward to fit on the front as each other, although I think the shape at the bottom of the fronts were more pronounced on the Suplex. There was still a bit of a bend on the Lesjöfors and they seemed to seat okay.

Can't remember where I found a catalog for the part numbers, will have been through google so should be on the internet somewhere. I ordered M-Sport ones, part numbers were LESJÖFORS 4008510 for front and LESJÖFORS 4208484 at rear. Pretty sure they had standard parts listed as well.

I don't know if this is any help but I needed to have my rears replaced in 2023 and the garage used Sachs ones and I can't tell any difference in comfort :)

Thanks. The KYB were just round and didn’t look right, even though they worked ok. So one vote for the Lesfojors then 👍🏻
