Default Springs and Ride Height on B3 90

I have a 1991 90 Quattro 20V Sedan. I am replacing the 2Bennett coil overs. The original 2Bennett coilovers have rusted and need to be replaced.

Does anyone know what the stock ride height was on the 90 sedan? Mine was already lowered when purchased.

Andrew at 2Bennett has recommended that I use 275lb 10" springs all the way around. I am a little concerned they may be a little too soft. He claims not. I am coming from 350lb. front and 315lb rear springs which I felt were a little to stiff for my liking especially the fronts. The handling was really good just a little too stiff on the PA roads. Any feelings on this? This will be a daily driver in PA.

Thanks in advance for your input!

no idea on the stock ride height, but if 350 and 315 were stiff, 275 to 300 should be fine, you can also play with adjusting the shock stiffness.
if its just surface rust, clean it and respray it.
