rear springs advice

Hi
When I did some checking on spring heights the measurement from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch on new vehicles was given as 18.5 inches front and 19.5 inches rear :? !!

the correct way to measure the correct ride hight is to measure between the bumpstop & the higher side of the axle casing.on my dads 110 which is fitted with really heavy duty springs all round has i think 4 inches or 50 mm between the bumpstop & chassis.on my 90 racer when i had dual rate rangie vogue springs fitted there was 40-45 mm between the bumpstop & chassis and when i fitted heavy duty 90 springs all round there was 50 mm between the chassis & bumpstop & also it was much stiffer which for what im doing is ok as it lands nice from big jumps but is a nightmare on rough ground as it doesnt relly soak the bumps up.110 rear springswon't fit any other axles as they are wound to a bigger diameter,what i am lookin for is information on what is the best springs to fit to my 90 racer.
