I had king springs 'lows' in mine and thought it was still too high, if I did it again i'd get superlows

I bought low king (crap) springs, biggest waste off money ever. They would hardly be 10% stiffer than 1200 springs. Side by side you cant feel a difference pushing down on them by hand. This means heaps of suspension travel, when you hit a bump with stanza struts (which are too long really) they bottom out heaps. So i went to the wreckers, spent the best $20 ive spent on upgrading my suspension sinse the 120y sway bar. Bought a pair of TE gemini front springs, cut them down about 3 coils from memory as they are very long, leaving ride hight approx 1" above the tyre. Result, never bottoms out, handles at least 50% better than the kings did and cost squat

Contact Pedders in Canningvale.

You will need the loaded spring height of the Stanza springs that are in your car.

If you dont know how to measure this they can instruct you on how.

Tell them ride hight and stiffness that you want and they will calculate and sudgest several springs.

Eliminates all the trial and error - Good Luck

Maybe you should have a look at my coupe. Im going through this process at the moment. Stanza struts with a CA18DET engine.
