I'm going to jump in here and make a simple suggestion -- before you go to extremes in swapping in springs and then finding that they aren't really the right level or look -- if you go on the Swedish Auto Specialties website, poke around and you'll find a blue poly spring spacer.
They aren't too much dough, and far easier to install than completely changing springs.
I had a set of intrax that came in a car, and though the car sat OK, it would hit in the rear as the axle wasn't relocated forward, and it had 16 inch wheels. We put in the spacers, one on each side and that was enough lift. You can put two on each side, one on the top and one on the bottom to get an inch of lift.
My suggestion would be to find another C900 that sits like you want it in terms of height, and then measure from the ground to the top of the wheel arch. But, since you have SPG flares that would make it hard, so measure from the ground to the same spot on the jacking hard points. Then, do the same measurement on your car and calculate the difference. If it is over an inch, then you'll need a new spring.
The above isn't relevant if you have a broken part that is making the car sag. You should take it to a good shop and have them check it for safety sake.
