I had a problem like this with the wife’s saloon then again with my tourer three years later. The front springs for your car are the strongest made.
I hate this they are meant to sit higher than other springs. They are also meant to support the most weight.
Front springs come in many different lengths and range from 12mm round bar to 17mm round bar.
This sadly means nothing.
I ended up sending a new spring to a spring maker and gave them the weight over the front axel. And asked for a spring that would hold the car 25mm higher and be 30% updated on the sample.
I got them to make me 3 pairs I fitted the last pair to my tourer around Easter time. The ride is much improved and the car sits at a much more appropriate height.
I think getting special made springs may be the way forward as the last pair I bought from Rimmers did not even have colour coding on them. New springs are not what they used to be .
