If you go for standard springs, it'll likely lower it a little.
If you fit as you have a 90 like I do castellated spring isolators top and bottom all round it'll do two things in the matter of importance.
1) Soften ride and reduce vibration. (I'm impressed)

2) They will give you a 3/4" - almost 1" lift back. Probably not as heigh as before but not as low as standard.

For these reasons they suited me perfectly, I went genuine and they weren't cheap at £88 or so for 8x.

Just a few ideas to mull over.

To be honest I wouldn't mind it a bit lower, it's a bit high for my little ol legs😃

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 HT Corris Grey

I tried to buy a pair of rear springs for my 110 and found a set of 2015 takeoff springs but they'd only sell them as a set with the front ones too :/
