Don't have the stock height right now but looks pretty close from the pic you posted if those are 205's. Will measure for you when I pick up my wife's Coily from the shop in a few days...

The front springs are normally flat so if they have a noticeable arch to them then its lifted.

I was going to say 40mm too. Give away is the angle of the radius arms.

Stock then 40mm

That's what they are. Every now and then a set come up on gumtree, usually dry rotted. Even Silverstones are getting hard to find over here.
