I don't think they are available any more. If you are happy with the ride height, I would leave it just they way it is. The spring u have on the car are well built springs .

You can also go to full coilover .
Just options.
Best of luck !

If you're worried about bottoming out the strut and blowing it, you could also get extended top hats and keep the rest of your current suspension setup the same :thumb: That will allow more travel for your struts, preventing them from being damaged.
