Im not sure that you will be able to buy aftermarket springs that will be standard ride height. Not that i know of.

As said, what is it that's too low? do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

can't believe you having problems with the spoon springs, i live in ireland and the roads are in bits all over the place. i think you might have to get standard springs if the spoons are a problem

the exhaust is standard its just the the ride height i managed to source some oem springs today thanks will let you know the outcome

The standard exhaust stis low anyways, you might have problems with the OEM springs still.

Im still meaning to measure up and make a bracket to try and push the exhaust up a bit.
