I don't believe your front springs are shot. They are probably almost as good as they where new. Maybe they have saged lower a few mm, but thats what you wanted anyway. More likely, the shocks are shot. And the springs were always soft.
I would say just buy the Kings/ whiteline low springs. I don't actualy know whats avaliable sorry. But if you want it very low, you just have to buy the low ones then cut them a bit.
If the springs are not captive, you will need to change the shocks to different shorter ones, and maybe they need changing anyway. For the front, you can use front shocks from a ST162 Celica. Club4ag recomend AE92 shock inserts, but most AE92 struts in Australia are sold as complete sealed assemblys I think. ST162 cartridges are about the same dimentions. And you will need a spacer to make them fit. To keep very very low springs captive, you will need to cut the strut body shorter also, and use a smaller spacer.
