OEM is not progressive so it's not just the length of the spring. Progressive springs are hard on shocks because they have hellacious rebound when they are compressed and then all that energy is released - this is what's progressive. When replacing with progressive springs, it's best to replace the shocks too. But at your mileage, there shouldn't be any difference. Good shocks start loosing their effectiveness around 50-60,000 miles, and slowly get worse.
