Prosport 35mm Rear Springs - suitable for saggy rear?

I have recently taken delivery of a 2016 T6 campervan (T30 2.0 diesel). The first owner (or a previous owner anyway) had the van lowered by 30 or 35mm I believe. 18 months ago, during an MOT test, a broken rear spring was spotted and this was replaced - I understand that both the 2 rear springs were replaced - I don't know what make but they are yellow and have "K221 SA1 974 44 0455" on them.

Anyway - as per the photograph the back of the van is particularly low and it's obvious the springs can't take the weight or have gone saggy.

My garage have said that if I get some suitable springs they will fit them ... and I'm sort of working out that fitting them may be easier than identifying which ones to get - partiularly since I only actually need the rear springs.

One set I have seen is the "Prosport 35mm Lowering Spring Kit to fit: VW Transporter T6 2.0 TSI, 2.0TDI" at just under £180. Can anyone advise me whether those are suitable please - or whether there's something more suitable !!

Many thanks ..

If theyre yellow then a quick google comes back with Amex from euro cp or Apex but nothing to cross reference that part number against .
Is it a work van/camper ? As in carries heavy stuff in the rear ?
Give it a measure So you can get an idea of just how low the front Is and work from there would be my first thoughts .
 
I'd say both front and rear are an issue. That front looks as low as mine which is about 55mm down, and the rear looks more like 70mm.
It's obvious that the springs aren't fit for the job.
Is it using the original dampers still?
The ride must be pretty crashy. I'd speak to one of the suspension experts on here (CRS, Bognor Motors, The Van Cave) and do the job properly.
As @JumpShip says, measure the front from wheel centre to wheel arch.
