Tom,

If you can measure the spring's wire diameter with a dial caliper, then the link below may help.  The spring's
free length may be difficult to measure.  You can jack up the car and let the suspension, but if the spring has
been "preloaded", you won't be able to get an exact free length...but you should be able to get close.
