You will be best off with standard springs if your not doing anything else to the front or rear suspension

As for air filters your car has generic SU HS6 carbs so generic chrome SU air filters or filter covers should fit - just type it in Google and you will find some but the nicest ones are not cheap. I think the only thing you need to check is the clearance from the clutch master cylinder, if the filter is too 'fat' the left hand filter could foul the clutch cylinder.
