1995 Camaro Z28 M6 Lowered wrong, reuse stock springs?
Hello All,
I just purchased a 1995 Camaro Z28 M6 that was lowered incorrectly. it has Eibach Sportline 1.8in Lowering Springs and Monroe Shocks with 275/40Z/R17 tires.
No Adjustable Panhead bar or Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets at all.
The car bottoms out and rubs right rear wheel fender lip on every bump and dip in the road.
I am planning to bring the car back to stock height.
I have already purchased a fender rolling tool to roll the fender and Koni STR.T shocks to replace the monroe shocks.
Also bought Moog Strut Mounts, Spring Seats, Spring Isolators
Can I reuse the stock springs? I am not sure how many KM on them but they look like they are in good shape only a small bit of rust. (Note there is 156,000km on the car, so probably a bit less on the springs)
If not, what would you guys recommend for stock height springs? was considering the following:
ACDelco 45H3025 and 45H0233
Or
Moog CC635 and 60114
however some forums are saying ride height is too high for the above springs? higher than stock?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

...I made the mistake of trying the cheap way to lower my Z the first time...but I used the Eibach Pro-Kit with Gabriel shocks. The ride was HORRENDOUS and it got to the point where I didn't even want to drive it. To remedy, I went with a set of Strano springs & Koni 4/3 package and got my ride and handling back! Talk with Sam Strano and see if he'd recommend his springs with the STR.T shocks.

I recommend Moog CC635 and 60116. The 60114 is the LS motor (weighs less than an LT1) and V6 spring Moog lists for everything. The 60116 is the 00-02 WS6 and SS front spring a better option for the heavier nose of an LT1 car. I put the 60116 and CC635 on my 94 with Bilsteins. The ride was night and day vs the stock springs and DeCarbon shocks.
