the front height should be 8.68" and the rear 8.57"
the front measurement should be taken 30.50" back from the center of the front wheel measured from the ground to the bottom of the car.
the rear should be measured 24.00" toward the front of the car from the center of the rear wheel.
home this helps.

Sounds like you just have a heavier coil spring. They are much shorter than the lighter stock one.
