FRONT COIL INFO:
1- 1975 CSi Euro
2. single blue stripe
3. A = 34.92cm (13.75")
4. unknown*
5. wire diameter 15mm (.6") near top of coil to 3/4 of length down. Then wire gradually tapers to 1.5mm (.415") at lowest measurable point.

Coil diameter is 165mm (6.5")

*Even after cleaning the coil with water and using a mirror to search for identifying markings, none could be found. The coil does not appear to have been cut at the top end of the coil wire. Due to alum shields protecting wheel well I could not determine if any aluminum spacer is located at top. (see pic). Shocks are Bilsteins.

Spreadsheet has been updated with the final ride height for DWMBMW's 1972 3.0 CSi and Patricia Mayer's 1974 US Market with red/blue/blue spring. Aluminum spacers are still installed. Both cars are ready for Paris to Dakar!
Not sure what is going on with the coil spring specification file but when I downloaded it it opened up a navigation app? Or is it just me ?
