I measured mine on the car, but I don't trust the numbers I came up with vs. the commonly available lengths (I'm not sure if they were still slightly compressed, or stretched.)

So, what should be the free length for the fronts and the rears for reference?


(due diligence: I did search and came up with endless discussions on rates, but nothing about length)
 
Answering my own question after calling KW in CA:

F: 170mm R: 200mm

KW spring part numbers with same free length listed with approximate in/lb rates: (NOTE: these are front only)

60110047 - ~450in/lb
60110048 - ~515in/lb
60110049 - ~570in/lb

KW technical area recommends staying within +/- 200in/lb in rate from original spring rate (343in/lb in this case) to maintain integrity of damper.

I had a set where the printing was not resistant enough and could be rubbed away. Not the Quality I would expect.
