List,

Some of the brand new spring sets are furnished with springs of equal 
length. I recall installing one set successfully but was very concerned 
about coil bind, having measured the collasped length of the inner (red) 
spring and made an educated guess of the available space within the 
overdrive. ISTR that there was 1/16" of an inch to spare. Since then, I've 
been buying sets from TRF than have some differential between the short and 
long springs, although not quite the 1/4" the manuals spec.
