Default HI! im a noob! (rear springs help)

hi im new here! lets start out with i have an 07 tc! ive surfed this forum before for info and ideas and its always been helpful. i finally decided to join because i have some questions and i need help! i bought my tc second hand (repo) and the previous owner had put lowering springs on the back. i like how it looks, but the problem is my driveway is long and its gravel, so if im not careful, i always bottom out in the back. second, im a gigging musician so i haul a lot of gear (amps, speakers, instruments) which lowers my back end even MORE which means i bottom out even worse. so anyway, long story short, i gotta lift it. ive been looking and i cant find stock rear springs anywhere! can someone help me? im interested in new or used, i just need to get them switched. every time i bottom out my stomach hurts! i know its kinda a lame first post, but i dont know where else to look!

our local dealership is Sh*t. they take forever and charge waaaaaay to much. they charged me $60 for the plug the headlight bulbs go into cause mine shorted. nobody on guam does craigslist and ive been surfing ebay for about a month looking for them. as far as higher aftermarket springs, the previous owner them on and i dont know what brand they are or the specs.... see my dellema?? te only thing i found on ebay was these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...Q5fAccessories

are these for a tc? the seller doesnt specify.

well measure from the ground to the fender well. then look up the stock spec on that and thall tell you how low your springs are. then go from there on finding different springs.

awesome! you can use a flat rate box USPS. just make sure its priority or ill get it in two months compared to a few days. lol do you use paypal? let me know what you want for the springs and then what ever shipping is.
ill see if i can find out the shipping rates. should be around $20
