Default Lowering Help Needed ASAP!!

Ok well I have an 01 WS6 and my car is currently lowered right now, I think the stock springs were cut...and it looks like the stock shocks.

Front - from the fender to the top of the rim is 3 1/2 inches
Rear - from the fender to the top of the rim is 4 3/8 inches

The car rides like total ****!!! it feels like every tiny bump and crevice i bottom out....I jacked up the car and I can compress the srpings with my bare hands...

I want the car to be the same height after I put new springs on it...I like the look of it right now and it looks like the Eibach Sportlines are pretty close...I dont care about drag racing I am more into road racing...so I need a good spring

Does anyone know how these ride? Also anyone who has them on their car can they measure the distance from the fenders to the top of the rim?

Y is this very question posted twice in here?

Here is what I posted in the other same thread:
"Here is a helpfull link I stole from soulless: http://www.angelfire.com/my/fastcar/suspension.html
Shows some spring rates and drops. It however does not include Strano's springs, which are highly recommended. I plan 2 go w them (ironically) this spring.

Give Sam Strano a call. He is knowledgable, helpful, sells multiple manufacturers' springs, and can help you fit your needs."

-Quoting yourself is cool!
