For example, what ride height do you get with Alfaholics fast road springs, or Centerline, or International. Of course the weight of the car will affect ride height some, but not dramatically.

But surely the huge variation in people's tyre choice changes makes this measurement a bit pointless. Unless you are running the same wheel tyre combo (and inflated to the same amount, at the same temperature).
I guess its somewhere to start though.
