Default Length of Stock Front and Rear Springs

Did a search for this but could not find an answer. How long are the front and rear stock springs?

I have two pairs of Eibach springs that I am going to be selling, one with a length of 7" (700.250.850), and the other with a length of 8" (800.250.600). These springs were really designed to work with coilovers so I am not sure if they are evenin the ballpark for standalone applications.

Those are linear springs. You can't use linear closed ended springs on the stock setup.

Never thought about that - physically they are not going to work with the lower mounts. (Though I was not assuming that people would try 850 lb springs with the stock shocks themselves.)

I presume that they would work with Ground Control's 'coilover' sleeves or the like?

Yeah, they need to go on sleeves or a threaded body coilover of the proper size.
