Default input wanted

Shortly I will be going with some 17x9.5/11 ZR1s, and presently have TSP duals. GC isn't great, but I can get in and out of my driveway without any drama, and speed bumps aren't an issue. I do not wish to lower my whole car, but rather the front 1/2" or however little I can lower it to JUST get the front lower than the back. My hardware (springs/struts) has a **** ton of miles on them so replacing them would be done anyway, do companies make stock height springs? I am probably going with Koni SAs up front because I remember reading here that that is the best way for SLIGHT lowering without going with lowering springs... anyone have any input or suggestions? Hope I worded that well.

I'm in the same kinda situation as you right now and one guy gave me these links.

I'm just not sure what the stock spring heights are or what rates to go with. Hope this helps anyway
