Default Measurement needed for restoration

Hi People
I have a 1985 Series 1 RS Turbo that I am restoring. I have replaced the rear suspension bushes with polyurethane ones. Since doing this the passenger side rear tyre rubs on the wheel arch, which it didn't do on the standard bushes. I think the car has had lower springs put on it and I think I want to put standard springs back on it. Can anyone tell me the standard length of an original spring so that I know how much higher the back of the car will be? Also are springs handed or are they same for both sides? Any views/thoughts would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Alex.
