You may have to go back to your original springs - depends on the clearence and spring rate of the king springs. If you haven't enough clerence then you could roll the guards or put the other springs, I'm not aware of other solutions. If your worried about bottoming out then you could make sure you have a linear rate lowered spring that will be a lot rougher on the road but might prevent bottoming out. Lovells make linear rate springs for my car, and this is the reason i got them instead of the King Springs.
You could just head down to the local wreckers and buy a single spring - maybe even a self serve.
hope this helps. I've just done the rear suspension on my car after getting bigger wheels, so I know what your facing.

My opinion would be to use a set of standard height King's springs, they will still lower your car a tad over stock, but will be higher than the low's.
If your Kings Low's are in good nick you could probably flog them off to offset some of the cost.

Yeah sounds good, My springs are only 4 months old or so. I still want the handling that King Springs offer. Did 90 around a corner that said speed should be 35kz around it, car was stuck to the ground like glue

Coil springs can be reset up or down by retempering them and streching or compressing them to the desired height/length.try a local spring manufacturer they should be able to do it.i use one in adelaide regularly and the result is generally good.

It won't raise by much if you try to do the right thing and keep the same rolling diameter.
