Just the facts, ma'am. I got out my Technical Characteristics for the Giulia TI, Giulia Super, and US 2000 Berlina. Note that in some cases, there are three or more variations of a spring specified for one model, all slightly different. So these are good numbers, but there are others too for the same models, based on different suppliers, I guess. The venerable pre- and post-lunch production variations.

Length in inches, force in pounds.

Giulia TI
F 12.2 free, 7.8 loaded at 2976 lbs
R 18.25 free, 9.9 loaded at 753 lbs

Giulia Super
F 12.31 free, 7.87 loaded at 2100 lbs
R 17.7 free, 10 loaded at 710 lbs

US 2000 Berlina
RF 13.5 free, 8.4 loaded at 1988 lbs
LF 13.9 free, 8.4 loaded at 2138 lbs
R 18.3 free, 9.9 loaded at 769 lbs

Note also that the load varies upward from the numbers I've given. It's complicated.
