Default spring free length

ok, I asked about this in the ITR area, but no one seemed to care....
does anyone know the free-lengths of either ITR springs or Eibachs Pro-Kit or H&R Race? I actually did call Eibach, but they wouldn't tell me the free length on the grounds that it is design info??? I heard that ITR free length is 13 in the front 12 in the rear? what I'm goin for here is I might be getting some hypercoils and I wanna know if 12'' would be the right free length for the front and if 10'' would be too short a free length for the rear. I would ideally like the rear to be lower or as low as the front.

C'mon . . One of you ITR guys - just go out in the garage and measure the stock springs for the man.

If it helps at all I believe my GSR springs were 10/12. Most people in here are running coilovers so they never concerned themselves with the length of non-coilover springs.
