Not sure if the unsprung length of the V8 and 6 cyl springs are different, but can give you length of front 6 cyl sedan springs if needed.

I think V8 are slightly longer, Ive been offered a set out of a car they are supposed to be lowered, but the guy dont know by now much & if its more than 2" in NSW they are useless to me.

I have just measured the standard springs from my HZ 308 statesman, both front and rears are 375mm.
I fitted Kings lowered springs (measure 315mm)to the rear and they lowered the car about 35mm (sorry cant be exact as did not measure it)even though they are 60mm shorter. I removed them and fitted Kings superlow ( also 315mm) and they lowered the car another 12mm. this has just closed up the gap from top of tyre to guard, I am running 235/40/18 tyres which are pretty much the same height as 205/70/14.
I have superlows for the front which measure 295mm but have not yet fitted them so dont know the result.
I think you will find that low and superlow springs will be the same free length, this is so they remain captive at full suspension droop,but the the superlows are rated different which gave another 12mm to my rear
hope this helps
