As long as you don't have automatic levelling rear suspension, you'll be fine fitting the 'standard' springs listed in catalogues for the 75, such as KYB etc.
KYB springs have always been very good in my experience, and they're well priced too.

As we are talking of "Springs" rear for a tourer,It has been said many many times that the rear of a Tourer always looks "Low". in comparison to a saloon

Is there a replacement spring available that would lift it a little?without going to self leveling.

As I seem to be always carrying some thing heavy in the rear It looks even lower

I'd be interested to know if you find anything. My tourer sits very low which causes a problem when I visit my daughter as she lives in a new housing development where the roads are yet to be finished

Mine looked low, so took wheels to check bottom of spring, and both had broken. I got mine from ECP, they list two for my 2004 tourer, a standard and a heavy duty one, so replaced withh heavy duty ones, done about 4 weeks ago, all seems good so far. But time will tell.

Don't suppose you have a photo of the ride height ?
I've checked my springs and they are both intact
