Classicswede / dai on here does springs for 60 quid IIRC, his catalogue thread is stickied to the top of the offers section. I'm probably going to go for some of his in the new year when i get my lowering blocks put in. Think i'm going 1 inch (got the blocks already) on the back and 2 on the front as the GLT is a bit lower on the back than the others i think
