Stock spring length?

I'm looking at putting a set of 975lbs straight rate springs that are 12" long on the front of my '92 Z28. Does anyone know what the length of a set of stock Z28 springs is? My car currently has cut stock springs in the front, so I can't use them for comparison.

The reason I'm asking is that I need to know if these springs will drop the front, and if so, by how much. That will give me an idea as to how much negative camber I'll gain (or loose) by going to these springs.

Thanks

975LBS!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!
I run 707lb/in front 90 Iroc springs and they are plenty stiff. Why not weld up the struts and eliminate the springs? It will ride the same either way. J/K

heh - well, its not exactly a street car, so the high rate springs are more there to keep the nose from diving too hard under braking. .

Soooo... Anyone measure 'em out?
