I'm thinking of getting springs while my car is in Mexico. However I'm concerned about getting the right rate and ride height.

Anyone have a set of specs for rear springs on a '67 imperial Crown Sedan?

You won't find specs.
You ask for what you want over and above stock as far as firmness and height.
Oh, wait. Mexico??
 
Curious - why Mexico?

Specs should be available on the Detroit Eaton Spring site. Also in your service manual I think.

That's where the car is.

The rear springs sag and after quite a bit of searching I never found a specification for what the rear ride height should be. I was hoping there was a spec for rate, arch, length, etc, which could be used to manufacture a set.

If not, I'll get them from Eaton, but the paint and body is going over budget (gee, what a surprise) and I was hoping to keep the project from getting too far out of control.

After this, I'll have to save up for a while again this is eatig into my engine budget.
 
Ahhh... I understand. Budgets? No one EVER stays within their budget on a C body restoration! LOL...

Keep in mind that any competant spring shop should have specs available in some form of database, and can use your originals as a pattern. Looking at the Detroit Eaton website, I came up with these specs when I plugged in 67 Imp Crown Sedan (you can call them for more detailed information):
