If you want to replace them with as close to standard as possible then just buy 4 good make standard shocks and springs. Monroe shocks or KYB are high quality.

Standard ride height springs are handy enough to come by.

Depends on the size of your hand lol!

No, sounds like its been lowered a bit anyway.

Any standard shocks and springs will get you back to standard height
