+1 on this. I'd like to get confirmation as well.

Give me a day or two and I can measure the stock springs sitting in the garage. As I recall they were NOT straight springs.

I wonder how the spam machine chose a 1974 Lotus Elite 502 for a car model.

Nope.
The stock rears are much longer than 6". As are the fronts. But they compress a lot more since they are of much lower spring rate. And, as has been mentioned, the rears are bell shaped to fit the OE spring locators without popping out.
That said, since you have K Sports, I suspect what you really want to know is what size springs they take. The answer is 60mm id. Or you can use a 2.5 with an adapter ring to downsize it. Front lengths will vary depending on rate and ride height you want. 6-7 inches long will work on the front.
What I have used for the rear is 6" long with 1/4" of adapter ring thickness, mounted on the K sport ride height adjuster base only (no rings). I've also used the K Sport front spring on the rear which is a 60mm springs, 280 lbs, and about 7.25" in length. Gave about the same ride height as the 500 x 6 x 2.5" spring.
You should also be able to use a 5" long spring in the rear with the full ride height adjuster mechanism, but there is precious little in the way of choice of spring rate for those.

If you're after the size of stock springs, I've got mine right next to my toolbox at work. I can measure them tomorrow morning when I get there.
