Default Suspension problem/question

Hey guys, i have this problem, I need a stiffer suspension but I NEED stock height and i can't lower my car. Every spring on the market lowers the car at least an inch (except for the new neuspeed sofsport which lowers .75) so i came with an idea which i don't think is that bad, there is a company here on Venezuela, that makes the springs for all Toyota cars manufactured here and other brands, so i was thinking on buying the Eibach Pro-Kit and taking them to this company so they can make a lil spring to make the Eibach and this spring get my car back to stock height, with a stiffer suspension (yes i mean using two springs at the same time).
I want to get a 50% stiffer suspension, cuz my car is really sloppy and i want a tight feeling, would the lil spring idea be dangerous? is there any way that the springs would work together?
any info on this would be welcome, but i want experience, not just "i've heard" stuff.
Another thing would be something like Skunk2 Coilovers kit, but i don't know if they retain stock height on the highest level they have.
Another thing, are the poly bushings good, i've use them on other cars and i know they give the car a tight feeling, but they also make it a lil harsh (which i don't mind at all) what do you guys think of them?
Thanks guys, have a

Ground control are pretty good. U can order what ever sprin rate and length.
U can mated them with Bilstin or koni shock. Or what ever shock u want.

I am running GC and konis and is pretty good. In ur case, just run longer spring so the car wont drop as much.
