Default 2000 4.0 Sport rear spring sag

My wife's 2000 has 79k on the clock and I'm getting ready to tackle the suspension. I'm going to do the struts of course, but the rear springs are sagging a bit. My 2004 GTO did the same thing and until I installed the drag springs on it, I was chewing the insides of the tires at an alarming rate. Now the S-Type is doing the same. Searching online all I can find is 1-1.5 inch drop lowering springs. I have no problem with getting aftermarket springs, but I don't want to drop the car more than maybe a half inch if at all. I'd prefer to get factory replacements which I can't find online in my searches and I'm sure the dealer will be pricey. I'd take someone else's that have swapped for lowering springs that have much less miles as well, but my main goal is to maintain the ride quality and not go through tires like they are going out of style.

Factory ones are likely available from the forum sponsors such as Nalley as well as the places I posted in the current long thread about DCCV

Found them new for much less than I expected. Thanks!
