mine is around 120mm on the back and 100mm on the front silly low but great fun! PhilJ coilovers on group buy. people say there are a harsh ride but i enjoy bouncing along so its a big smile on my face! budget coilovers and i found they are very good just watch out for corrosion and seizing!

Here's mine. TA Technics Coils and I'd say it was about 100 at the front and 90 at the rear.

Up about 10mm at the back and 30mm at the front.
