Default 9" front springs for DC2

just received my koni/gc setup and they gave me 9" front springs (230.64.55) for my DC2. is it me or is this too long? i was planning on dumping the car. how low can i go with a 9" spring, i know the normal spring lengths are 7 or 8inches.

Let me know your thoughts...want to be sure before I install, if not I will try and get replacements.

Thanks

I'm sure you could just return them. But yes that seems kinda long.

I don't see why you couldn't use them. Just move the circlip down to the lowest position to give you more usable threads on the sleeve to work with.
