Berlina Springs

I am torn between my ultra stiffly sprung suspension currently on my Berlina and returning to a tall soft stock suspension.

The car has some yellow springs from an unknown source that are very short and very stiff. It also has Bilstein shocks. This was a great set up for track use. The car even had 205/60-14 Yokohama 008's on it when I got it.

But now I have restored the car to be more for street use. I have always loved the low look, but I recently acquired some factory alloy option wheels (Cromodora CD22) which are 5.5" x 14". The thought is to put the Vredestein tires in a 165HR-14 and return the car to the stock ride height. This should improve the heavy steering at parking speeds.

I changed the front springs to some unknown silver GTV springs. The car rides a little softer, still handles OK, but it is still sitting low.

Does anyone have some stock Berlina springs for sale?
