I measured the level before i removed the old springs with a long rod. marked it, then upon install of the new ones measured again. It was now higher due to the closer coiled springs, so i just put the rod in and pulled it out a number of times measuring after each time. I'd pull it out quick so it would be well coated in oil then wipe it off. each insertion takes a bit of oil out with it. After 5 or 6 times the level was back where it was with the stock springs in it.
