There is a name on the coilover called the bump stop, which means it is the length of full compression on the coilover, while the tires are not supposed to touch anything. That is why sometimes it is better cooperate with Shops to get the exact measurements, rather than buying the default setting from the coilover companies.

It can work, but it takes time to measure. And Most people don't want to share their measurements or data on the internet.
