I didn’t get into springs on the 73-77 but just because it’s shorter isn’t really important. Spring rate is what matters. A taller low rate spring may compress under weight farther than a short high rate spring.

I installed Moog 5375 coil springs on the rear of my Monte a couple years ago. Sits at oem height and the ride is comfortable - not too firm, not soft/bouncy. (i know, sounds like Goldilocks…)
