Default Springs

Hello, im currently looking to upgrade my suspension, since I had to replace my shocks anyway due to a leak I figured why not upgrade the springs too. however my car is already only 4 inches off the ground so I am not trying to get any lower then I already am. Which brings me to my question;
Does anybody know if there are performance springs that do not lower the vehicle or have very little lowering to them? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Tein s tech's (.7 front .6 rear) or Hotchkis (.6 front .8 rear), both are very mild. I have Hotchkis right now, it rides very similar to stock

You sound like the perfect candidate for low mileage OEM replacements, assuming the springs you have are no good.

Yeah highly debating just sticking with my stock ones because they are still in good condition. Just trying to see if there is anything out there that isn't ridiculously lowering

The Tein H-Spec keeps you at about stock height. It’s a good spring but no better than the Z’s OEM spring (and some would say that the Z’s linear OEM spring is better).

I would not swap out a good stock spring for a Tein H-Tech.

Another vote for Hotchkis. Good quality and won't change the ride quality of your ride.

Seeing the OP's sn is 03autoz I would switch up the suspension to the revised oem 05+ shock/spring if I were to keep it at stock height.
