Coil Spring Dimensions?

I have a new (to me) 72 C10 Stepper. Either the PO may have lowered (or should I say attempted), how can I verify? What should the dimensions of the front and rear coils be? Any approximate height numbers would be greatly appreciated. My plan is to install 2.5 drop spindles and 4 in rear lowering springs but I really want to know what is (or isn't) in there now???

Re: Coil Spring Dimensions?

I'm not sure I could have found it if I hadn't already known about it

It's not always easy to figure out the exact right terms to search for.
