Standard and shims or is there a better alternative?

Thanks in advance,

If you want a stock ride height then I'd try standard springs with the appropriate shim height. You might have to fiddle about with the rubber shims to get it right though.

I don't know for sure but I assume if you've got SLS on a 560SEC you don't have the anti-dive set up as well? It is probably worth a quick look in the FSM for the approved spring / shim / shock combinations to see if there's a difference in uncompressed spring length between the three systems.
