Anyone sell stock ride height Hi-Po springs?

I need a new set of springs and I want to get a high performance set. Before you say get eibachs or whatever Im also trying to get the stock ride height back so I can keep my dual exhaust.

Ive seen some 1'' lower springs which would probably actually raise my car because I have stock springs with like 120k miles on them.

Moog is one brand. I'm sure there are others.

i get the NAPA brand. which are made by PERFECT CIRCLE. i order for a 1992 z28 with the highest spring rate. i can get you the part numbers.

here's what happened when we put them on a 1992 rs 305 tbi car. the stock springs were shot.

From what I have heard, high mileage cars with stock springs are usually about 1/2 to 1" lower than when new from the springs settling.

If you want to keep the same height it is now, going to a 1" lowering spring will basically keep the height almost the same as it is now.

well the good news is Im getting a 3'' hooker catback for xmas so I will be able to take speed bumps again LOL. After I get the hooker 2055s I will have plenty of ground clearance again so I will probably go with a 1'' lowering spring. With my exhaust the way it is now its ridiculous.
