mk2 1600 front springs!

gday guys, i wanna get an idea of what springs to buy to get the front of my mk2 sitting the guard even with the top of the tire? at the moment it sits a bit above, and the rear guard sits over the rear tyre, so i want it to look a bit more even.
thanks

    I have 2 litre struts with KFFL-12 King Springs
     

     
    If you have 1.6 struts KFFL-11 King Springs might be the go.
     
    How did you go with the front spoiler?
     
    Cheers Daz

    14 inch rims with 60 series tyres. KFFL12 is listed as capri 4cyl lowered springs but are considered as super low springs for 2 litre escorts according to king springs, not sure but I'd imagine a mk1 would be similar stance to mine or lower if you are running a pinto.
