I don´t think there is much of a difference in todays cars and my T-Bird. In the ´70s they was light, but with all electronics, crash zones and god knows what, todays cars are pretty heavy. No, I´m not talking about a Toyota Yaris or a VW Up... A Volvo V70 are 2200 kg with oil and fuel. I think my T-bird is pretty much the same. Or? I does have an extra set of springs to Ruth, but they are exactly on the spot the same height as my old.

Theory isn't practical in the life of an automotive spring. Springs sag, ride hard and they break. They 'work harden' with extended use which causes them to ride hard. Springs are always replaced in pairs to be sure they both came from the same batch of steel and heat treat.
So, looking at heights only paints a partial picture. Springs can be worn out even though they look ok. If you want that new car ride, treat your car to new springs. - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution
