Default 1LE Spring questions.

Sup guys. I need to replace my rear springs, they are just too spongy and are making some noise. (bought the car used). I want a stiffer spring rate, and I dont want to lower the car due to ground clearance. (My driveway blows) I was looking at the 1LE springs, I know they are stiffer, would they drop me any or would ride height be uneffected? thanks in advance!
I will be changing all springs of course.

The rear springs in a 1LE will actually make you sit about 1/2 inch higher, but you can't even notice it next to a Z-28.

Hey thanks man, Ive been looking for an answer to this question for a while now. Does the front raise any? What about cutting part of the spring (half coil?) to retain stock ride height?
