Longer springs will make the car ride higher. Even Helper springs will slightly increase ride height.

Place a helper spring into your current suspension. Measure the change in ride height. Write it on the wall.

Measure the free length of your current spring and attempt to find a replacement that is as much shorter as the helper springs raise the car. If you get lucky and find one, buy them, install them, and enjoy.

If you don’t get lucky, pick the coil spring that gets you as close as possible to what you want ride height-wise, install your helper springs, and don’t worry be happy — what you have is as good as it is going to get.
