According to a post from Turbobricks that I reference often:

Spring thickness according to VADIS
Front:
1229337 14.2mm
1229338 13.5mm
1229339 13.3mm
1229137 13.85mm/13,9mm
1205951 14.8mm
1330841 13.5mm
Rear:
1212426 12.0mm 244GL, 244GLE,242/244GLT,265GL,264,262C
1212427 12.7mm 245DL,GL,D
1229052 12.95mm 245/265GL,DL,GLE
1206750 13.8mm 245DL Australia

The Scantech fronts that FCP sells have a 14.5mm wire diameter - as you can see, they are thicker than any front spring ever offered on a 240 but one. I believe the 14.2mm spring was the diesel spring, I seem to remeber hearing that the 14.8mm spring was an extremely rare performance option.
