Mattiofiesh what kind of springs do you have? your Stang looks really staggered. Looks really good though..........
i bought the upr kmember kit http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=298 it came with eibach springs for the coilover setup, and i only did the front thats why it looks staggered and am very happy with it so far. i live in PA and we have a lot of hills with VERY uneven surfaces and no bottoming out problems for me, just drive smart if your driving fast.

Measuring may be a good place to start, but to me it sounds like it would be pretty difficult to measure ground and wheel clearance while driving over uneven surfaces (hills and dips in the road) it does sound like it would work out for you though
Good luck
ahh but thats what we have physics for I'm sure could you find a formula for spring rate and the mass of your vehicle, but that might be too much work so just ****ing go for it, trial and error that is how we learn , btw not trying to sound like a jerk if it's coming out that way! D
to many factors to consider, gas, people, what ever spring rate you decide, speed, tire preassure, leave the tape measure at home with the paper and pencil and just roll with it
yea but you can still guestimate it, doesn't have to be exact.
