I have the TRF uprated springs on my car and they are shorter than the stock
springs. I like them a lot because they give my 6 a more atheletic stance. I
have an early (1970) 6 which is lower than the later 6s due to federally
mandated height requirements. Are you sure this isn't the source of your
height problem. One thing you can also check to reduce the car height is the
"packing" pieces at the top and bottom of the spring. These things are there
to reduce rattles but I have taken mine out without noticing any significant
increase in rattles. Removing both packing pieces should reduce the height of
your car a 1/2 inch or so. You may be able to solve your problem by doing this
instead of buying new springs. One of the things I don't like about these
"uprated" springs is the increase in the ride stiffness. I put up with it
because of the lowered stance but it is annoying at times, particularly when
crossing RR tracks.
