Just took some quick measurements of the rears. The bottom mounts aren't threaded all the way to the top so maximum height is limited. Bottom bracket length is about 185mm from the top of the mount to the center of the knuckle mount. About 100mm of thread. Springs are about 180mm, like the front. Damper length I believe is the same as front. 578mm from the ground to the top of the fender arch with 215/45/17 tires, about 17mm of thread left. I believe you can thread the bottom bracket up under the spring without having to droop. With the damper about 1/4 from the top total length from the bottom of the pillow ball mount to the center of the knuckle mounting point is about 530mm. Lowest would be about 410mm.

I hope this makes sense. I edited some lengths on previous posts.
