So lots has been said about spring rates, but what about spring length.

Let's say on my car I run 9inch 600lb springs but could also run the same ride height with 7inch 600lb springs.

What are the advantages assuming if I run my shocks on a soft setting the 9inch springs can bottom out on the body under braking and the shorter ones still allow the same suspension range on bump but are say 1kg a coil lighter?
