Default King Springs XR8 Height

The springs on my car are too low for my liking. I don't know what they actually are. The guy that sold them to me said they were Series II XR8 springs, but they are not.

I run 235x45/17s. From the top of the wheel arches to the floor I measure 640mm front and 635mm rear. And I scrape - a lot. And it rides too hard for an old fart like me.

I want to get the thing up to XR height, and recover at least some ride comfort.

So I'm looking at these Kings Springs:

Front: KFFL-57
Rear: KFRL-67

Can anybody confirm that these springs are, in fact, XR height and what the actual height from the top of the wheel arches to the floor is when these are fitted.

If I was sitting 665 front and 670 rear I would be happy. I just don't want to fork out for the King Springs and installation and then find our they are still not what I want.

King Springs also sell these springs with a "Comfort Option". Any idea what this is about?
