I was told the added spring length was to account for driver weight. I was also told it's not uncommon to use the same spring for both sides and shim up the drivers side.

Thanks Andrew for the tech data, that's great. Based on that info the Berlina and Super both have a rear spring rate of about 90 #/in. On the fronts the Super is stiffer at about 460 to the Berlina 390 #/in. I've heard the 3:1 (dis)advantage as well and if you take the front loads divide by 3 and add that to the rear loads you end up with about 3000#, or total car weight (for Berlina).
