    The free length of Eibach front springs is ~ 12.75"
    The free length of Eibach rear springs is ~ 14.25"
    The free length of Grady front springs is ~ 13.25"

    All of the above springs have the same spring rate of ~150lb/in.
    It appears my set of 2 front and 2 back NOS springs is stock as well as the pair of used back ones. All available if someone really wants them.
