My springs have seen better days , front ones mainly, the car sits a bit low and it seems a bit firm on the ride . Would i be better off with after market ones or standard . All i want is to improve the `ride`feel and lift her up a bit . What you think ?

standard then bud,unless you get adjustables where you can wind them up or down

You Could also consider a Set of Eibach springs. They are only mildly lower than stock, but have progressive fronts and are suitable for stock shocks.

 

Its pretty much garaunteed most of the zeds on this forum that are running with an original stock setup have worn shocks and springs, well past there time. Replacements, even stock shocks and springs will transform the ride and handling.

 

Typical lifepsan for suspension components on a sports car weight 1500kg is going to be around 50-60k. Much less for suspension bushes.
