Are there orignal ride height performance springs?

I am looking to replace my shocks and springs this summer. I want to keep the ride height the same as factory. I know lower looks good but I would like to get my car in and out of my drive way. My car is a 99 SS. Is there a stiffer spring that sits at the factory ride height. If not I will just replace the shocks (one is shot, figured just replace all 4 as an upgrade) but the springs are fine, only 23,000 on the odo.

Go with a set of SLP Bilsteins, or if you want stiffer springs up front get a Global West front ride height adjustable kit with springs ranging from 400 lb.in. up to 550 lb.in. (stock is 292 lb.in.).
Another (easier) option is to get a set of Edelbrock F&R IAS shocks. The front shocks comes with a ride height adjustable spring seat and 550 lb.in. ERS spring already installed. All you would have to do with them is adjust the spring seat up around 3/4" for a factory ride height.

IMO I'd go with the Bilstein SLP shocks, and the Global West front kit with a set of 450 lb.in. springs.

PM sent.
