That is one of the problems with the generic one application-fits-all springs from places like Classic Industries. While not ground to a taper, the company that built my springs bends the lowest section of the coil so that it is touching the next coil at it's tip. The top is regular coil like the original spring. This way the bottom can sit into the pocket in the lower control arm. The upper locating area in the subframe has a circular cage that the spring locates around. I don't think the upper can be out of its spot without major problems in getting the spring to fit into the area. It's kind of a go or no-go situation at the top. Yuo may have the spring siting half on that circular cage, causing the upset height.
