True. Although I'm not sure that the inflation and the temperature matter very much! For the record, the example I gave is with 225/50-14 tires with a diameter of 23.0 inches, at 70 degrees F and 28 pounds of pressure!
My point was that many will say that a spring combination "lowers the car 1" from stock ride height". Well what the hell was stock ride height? It depends on the year of the car and the market it was sold in. On the other hand, if someone knows that their car is currently at 7" ride height and they want it at 5", they can choose a certain combination of springs and tires to get there!

I guess its somewhere to start though.
