Front suspension very soft / bit low

Hiya,
The front suspension on my 340 looks a little low and feels very soft so looking for some advice and pointers please!
It easily hits the bump-stops over relatively minor bumps in the road, which is annoying and not going to do it any good as a daily on the roads round here... The dampers appear working as they stop after one depression but it all feels very soft. I am thinking it probably needs new springs but should the dampers be ok still? I have read changing the oil can firm them up a bit which would be nice... also if the springs need changing what are the options? Ideally don't want to spend a fortune on fully adjustable for front and rear if I don't have to, but I am looking to give the car nice solid (compliant but firm) handling for the road.
I see classic Swede does a wide range of dampers and springs but not sure whats best for the 340...
Cheers!
