This a little round about but hear me out. In an effort to make my m104 w124 handle better I put late e420 124 springs in it. Relaxed length was approximately that of the stock springs. I then shoved a 1 nub pad in there to get it to sit where I wanted it. It seems they are just a thicker wire diameter with fewer coils. I no longer have the car and cannot measure it.

I haven't looked but w124 performance may have a pdf on this. I know they have swaybar data.

Also you can tell a cut spring from stock by the way the end is formed. Stock were clearly sheared off with some monster cutter while hot and people normally use a cutoff wheel to do it at home.
