That would be my preference if anyone knows the factory rates and length before it's installed on the strut. I wish the car just had adjustable ride height front and rear like the Vettes and Ferrari.

As far as I understand this question, same spring rate but shorter springs is very ill advised unless using limiting straps. Shorter spring means bad things happen at full extension. Like the spring falling out... There was a company (can't remember the name, getting old) that made a complete coil over set up on the Gen5 that replaced the position arms with ones equally shorter as the ride height. The previous gentleman that stated there will be a difference in stock vs lowered is correct simply due to the spring rate.."stiffer". Unless your worried about driving day to day it's agood way to lower car. If you want to have your car do as it was intended and tuned for, get used to the gap.
