Also it's worth bearing in mind that you can actually calculate the correct spring poundage and length if you take the trouble to weigh each corner of the car. It's possible to do this with reasonable accuracy with bathroom scales.

You might need 2 sets depending on the maximum reading of the scales. Just put the car on a reasonably flat surface, raise one wheel and rest it on a board that goes across both sets of scales, then raise the other 3 corners and rest them one blocks of wood or whatever the same height as the scales, and you can weigh that corner, then just a question of repeating it on the other 3 corners. Tedious but cheap and effective
