I dont know if you accept my advice , but the new springs you have are from a Maseratie Quarteporte ?
Place one old and one new spring on each side of the car ,whit out the spacer on the new shock.
otherwise heat the new springs 2 coils from under and push them down , that lower the car 3 cm.and keep their stiffenes.
