There might not be any way (that I know of) that you can restore springs unless you can find some new ones. A J/Y may be your best bet. If you want new there are a few aftermarkets out there and their lowering springs. I went with those and it has stiffened up the car to where I like it. I didn't like the way the car had so much body roll to it in turns. The lowering springs tightened everything up and yes the drive is stiffer, but I like it over the way it was. |

I wish we could find aftermarket oem style springs, not just lowering ones. |

Have you replaced the struts yet? If not, start there.

Struts have nothing to do with ride height. But if you're going to mess with the springs you should certainly replace the struts at the same time. |
