They can make springs that ride lower or higher than factory springs at the same time are either stiffer or softer. But if your not interested in special suspension modifications then OE springs are faster to get and are assured to meet the ride quality you presently have.

It's definitely a dealer order, which actually costs the same or less as aftermarket ($116 each). The only trick is to find the pattern of painted lines/squares on the spring, to get the correct spring rate.
Dealer says, based on my VIN, i need springs with 2 green, 1 yellow line. I saw three lines when I looked under the car but without a flashlight could not determine whether they were yellow or green.
