My car now has suspension !! 
- Live axle Striker Mk2. The dampers I ended up with on the rear are Gaz 140/095/B12-2 which cost £70 + VAT = £164.50 from Dave @ Dampertech, Brampton Hall, Brampton Road, Brampton-En-Le-Morthen,
Rotherham, S66 9BD Tel: 01709 703 992 (he is very helpful)
The ones I got first (that were topping out over crests even though these had a 1" longer travel than OEM supplied by the factory
) were 130/090 B12-2 
which I have now put onto the fronts.
For open/shut lengths see
www.dampertech.co.uk/gazcatalogue.pdf
The car now drives much better and feels to turn in with better grip.
Spring rates (Kent engine) are unchanged at present at 9" x 130lb rear & 9" x 180lb front.
For info Rob Sinclair has a set of Protechs with the correct 1 1/4" bushes (that open 10.5" - 14.5") with 12mm rods which also do the job if anyone wants to improve their beast. I had already bought two & as I wanted commonality I ended up buying from Dampertech.
Hope that this helps
