Vit sagging springs

ive been running calmini springs in the front of my 94 swb vit for the last 18 months and i reckon they've sagged.. or settled down a fair bit, i will be adding a steel bar and winch soon, which will weigh it down even more, i was thinking of getting some coil spacers to level her back out again, what sizes can you get them in, and where from? the coils are close to binding now on full compression, so a spacer would make things worse? :?

For coil spacers email\pm bruce of the nbs4x4club.com site as he makes them and can give you all the info on them and is good to deal with.

I wouldnt run spacers, have they settled in as opposed to sagged? what is the spring rate like, do you need to source a higher spring rater, cpacers are used to level a car, that is it, using them to gain lift, particularily on a sagged coil is a no no

not as harsh as when i 1st put the calmini springs in, it has settled down now, just looks a bit low in the front.
