Not to take away from what SG1 says; but, I match my spring lengths as much as possible.
On the 1/10th scale springs, some of the variance comes from the color-coded paint.
Using 1/10th scale king pins, the measurement typically starts at 0.606" where the king pin goes into the bottom of the steering block (on the axle side) to the bottom groove of the kingpin.
Using 1/12th scale king pins, this measurement would be 0.404" when done in the same manner.
This originally came from Dumper's Speed Shop (a couple years ago). But, he also made me throw away some of my measuring tools too...LOL
