I have just measured a rear coil from a JH5 it is 265mm uninstalled excluding the insulator rubber, the wire diameter is 12.3 and it is 4.5 coils with 110 internal spacing. I don't have the spring rate but I will be getting a set of coils made in the new year so I will measure this beforehand to work out what I need. Don't forget if you decide to go coil over you have to factor in the fulcrum point of the original spring , you will also need to allow clearance around the shock for the spring to clear the body.

Also I am not sure if these were different to the early springs as the bumpers on these are quite heavy
