Well I just don't know what to make of that. Mines an ohc car so maybe their different. I'm convinced my rear springs are equal length. Going to have to get the tape measure out.

Springs are not sides and are equal length.
Drivers side are often shorter when removed due to constant loading.

i thought the drivers side needs to be 16mm higher to compensate for that side being heavier
Why did i buy this thing...
