Since this depends on material used, it is hard to compare coil lengths. So I guess someone should be able to give you the decompressed lengths of stock springs to establish if you have stock springs on hand, but no way you can compare them to the lengths of lowering springs. I believe my Eibach springs are abt 10 cms shorter (decompressed) but they lower only 3.5 cms.
