Just went through this for my coupe besause I wanted the rear down just a bit.
#10 and #7 are the same, the top is contoured and beveled to fit the cross member.
Move #8 under the main (#1 spring) to become the dummy or spacer spring
I trimmed the length of the new dummy to look more correct but not really necessary.
I don't think the thickness difference of the #4 leaf in the 8 spring pack will be an issue
Work safe that spring can hurt ya .
