Default 250lb spring?

Does any company make 250# springs, that ride at the stock height?

I know welt makes 250# springs, but they are are 1" lower ride height. The only choice I see is the paragon coil over kit, but I would never adjust the height. A set of the right springs would save me some $$

I had the same question and ended up with the Paragon kit.

Might contact Lindsey, link below to a spring they are producing.
It is a progressive rate spring so you cannot compare it to the rates of linear springs but 250# is not very stiff.

There is a spacer sold for the Welt springs that returns them to stock height.

Those look like they are for the M030 cars, which had adjustable ride height.... Don't think they are for non-M030 cars.

Yeah, I know about those. I think I would rather go with the Paragon coilover setup. If someone made stock length springs, in #250, I'd get them. If not, the Paragon kit seems like a good deal.

Thanks though.

Why not get some welt springs with the spacers?
