4kq needs new suspension; spring q

[R Mangas]

   Greetings.  Been away for a while, new house, two cars, dogs, girl....

My '87 4kq is still running on stock bits.  Only 75k, so they're not as shot
as one might intially imagine, but shot nonetheless.  My biggest question at
this point is the springs.  The rears are really sagged, so I want to
replace them but most of the aftermarket units drop the car ~1.5".   The 4kq
is my winter car, so that's not very appealing.  I have the ground control
coilovers on my Miata, and like them just fine but I'd rather not spend 4
bills on springs.

   Are there crafty options that will allow me to uprate the springs some
and retain stock travel and ground clearance?  I could certainly buy the
aftermarket units and install spacers (kludge!), but I'm hoping someone will
tell me that "The 5000 turbo diesel wagon rear springs will fit.  They're
1.87x stock and add another half inch of ride height." or something
similar...

I can dream, can't I? :)

TIA,
Robert
Detroit (Rock City!)
