Mine are flat across and the car seems like it needs to come up an inch or two. Where is a good place to order springs from? I looked on Rock Auto, but not sure or the quality.
 

Many here order from ESPO Spring and Things. They usually have a waiting list but it's worth it. Great people to deal with.
 
Ditto ^^^^^^^^^^^

Order with or without a 1 or 2 inch over bend.
My car has always lunched straight with them and they hold good power.

ESPO.com AKA. Springs and things.
 
Another vote for ESPO here. My springs were flat also so I decided to replace them. I also like a little rake so I bought the +1" springs. There was a 4-6 week lead time, but I didn't have to wait on a list though? Great people to deal with. Speak with Laura, she'll get you fixed up with everything you need.

Hi BrianT, would you be able share the measurement of the now pic, from Centre of Wheel to the fender lip. I'm thinking I may need +2" for a bit more rake. Depending on how much weight in boot. I have spare wheel and battery.

Many thanks

@v8dve 14 3/4" is the measurement you're asking for. That is with no one in the car and no extra weight in the boot other than what came from the factory.
