Default Good springs that don't lower the car?

Other than Moog or stock original springs, are there any good performing springs that don't lower the car?

The stocks for a BBC are rated (I think) at 329. I want to go up to about 600 without losing height. I found a Global West pair that looked good but it still dropped the car an inch.

Hey Gary-

See my post re the Hotchkis 2" lowering springs - they raised the front end of my small block 1/2"!!

Why not pick up some landrum adjusters, and matching 5"x9.5" springs. You can set the ride height infinately, and pick the rate from a list! Just finished the conversion on my car and it only took a couple hours! After the switch, Ill never build a car without them! Carl Casanova's web site has great info on this.
