Front Springs with the 409 Engine weight

So what spring number & mfg that's available on the market should I order to have the stock height and to stay that height.
My car is a 1962 Impala SS convertible, with a 409 & 700r4 trans.
I've used a local spring shop twice now with the same result.
I also have my trans cooler/with fan under the front passenger corner bumper.
That is how I know the springs are weaker, as when I turn a corner with a front passenger my passenger tire rubs.
I want this to be the last time I change those springs.

I used Moog 6004's on Phil's recommendation. They are more high than low if you know what I mean.

I also used the Moog 6004 in the front of 62 Impala with a bbc and 4l60 and am happy with them. I have a before and after picture in my thread slow build 1962 if you want to get a idea if the front height with them springs

Thanks I'll order the 6004 springs. Don't know if I can get them in before Bowling Green, but should have them before Woodward Ave.
