9.5 Wagon Springs - One More Time?

Still trying to get .5"-.75" increase in suspension height on my wife's 2000 aero wagon. Does anyone know if the 9.5 standard wagon or 9.5 SE wagon springs are taller than the 9.5 aero wagon springs? The dealer said there are 7 different spring types and short of ordering one of each and measuring them (and then paying the 25% restocking fee for the six I don't need), I should try to find someone that knows for sure the difference in spring heights and applications. I was a little miffed that they were unwilling to call Saab tech and get an answer, but I think Saab has moved to a service model whereby they charge the dealer for each non-warranty inquiry (or so they said).
Any clarification on this issue would be greatly appreciated. After I get the right springs nailed down, I will but using Koni's or Bilsteins to firm up the ride again, as I am assuming the taller springs will be thinner as well.
No lectures, please, on loss of lateral stability or about how I should just buy a 0.5 or 9.5 SE. I understand that raising the height of the car, using thinner springs, and taller tires will certainly affect the "aero-ness" of the car. I've compared driving a standard 9.5 and a 9.5 Se against the power/performance of the aero engine - keeping that engine central to this project is paramount.
