Returning car to original road clearance height.

Here's my issue - The previous owner installed Eibach springs (on the original struts) lowering the vehicle. I want to return the car to the original height (very bad Michigan roads) with Bilstein HD struts & stock springs. Front stock springs are available, rear stock are not. Is there an equivalent spring available? Or is there a better way to get the vehicle higher?

I have a 1998 Base @ 52K miles, 18" wheels (225/40R18 Front & 265/35R18 Rear) and (as far as I can tell) no other suspension modifications.

Have you tried any recyclers? (aka junk yards)?

there are a few fairly well known ones, whos names escape me at the moment, who list entire vehicles that hey are parting out.

When looking for door and front bumper parts for my 97, there were a number of lower mileage vehicles, e.g. 16K-40k.. basically garage grannies that met an untimely death...
