some quick pointers:

1. you cant have a 250lb rear corsa spring that will drop 100mm. it would need to be around 3" long. you cant get a damper this short that wouldnt bottom out with any compression longer than 10mm

2. at present no manufacturer makes a front mcphereson strut that will allow a 100mm spring to be fitted. 70mm is the limit with most manufacturers and even then the car will sit on the bumpstops.

Surely if you drop the front more than 70mm it will rub the front arches

the ONLY way you can tell the ride heigh is by measuring from the centre of the hub to the underside of the arch, looking at a picture and guessing isnt really that accurate.
