I have TIC (Heystee) stage II paras and have been very pleased with them. They're now 12 years old and still have their original shape. I did have some problems witht he spring eyes - one rear spring snapped an eye about 9 years ago, and I was sent a replacement leaf under warranty with no fuss. Apparently, TIC had a batch of slightly oversized bushes, and that put stress on the eyes of the affected springs. I recently have had problems with one of the rear springs losing its grip on its bushes, and it could be for the same reason (I'm not sure whther it was the spring with the replacement leaf or whether it's the spring with the original leaves). Polybushes have solved the problem, though I'm not a fan of unbonded bushes generally.
Body lean was only a problem with the roof rack fitted, but comfort was greatly enhanced. I'm sure standard springs wouldn't have lasted 12 years. I also have no vehicle lean when parked.
