Aha! On my car, both stock and as I replaced the springs, the
narrower, longer springs were in the _rear_. I wonder if this is another
gift of the DPO... Perhaps someone with a '6 could verify that... I may
also be able to check free-length at least in the shop manual tonight. That
would explain things, like the fact that the rear springs in it were badly
sagging and one was broken when I bought it, that the new "rear" springs
still allowed some bottoming, the ride-height, and the fact that with the new
springs the front is much stiffer than the rear. Thanks!
