Realistic way of installing stiffer spring without lowering car?

[GewoW]

Hi all

I wanted to install stiffer springs for my car until i'm able to get a full coil-over set, but the car already has clearance issues in my garage. I was wondering if there's any realistic ways of installer the shorter stiffer spring while maintaining ride height - eg by custom thicker spring perch plate?

Does this sound reasonable?

Thx

Is this a zcp car? If so, maybe order a non-zcp spring to keep oem height.

No it's stock. I heard about buying the e30 m3 spring perch which can raise it by 12mm but any other opinions appreciated

Adding a stiffer sway bar would effectively increase your spring stiffness up front without affecting your ride height. Have you considered that?

Using Dinan camber plates will add a little height in the front to a lowered spring setup.

Have you considered custom made springs to get the exact stiffness and ride you want? Likely to be the simplest and cleanest option.
