Default Installed Shock Heights on C4s

Hello,
My project is a Tri-5 using a C4 suspension. So, I'm looking for some dimensions/geometry from a stock C4. Specifically, I need to know the installed height of the FRONT shocks on an EARLY C4 (1986 to be specific). So, the distance from the lower mount to the upper mount at ride height.

Also, it would be nice if someone knew the installed height of the REAR shocks if you have that handy, but that's making more sense to me than the front right now.

Thanks in advance,
John

Really, no one? If someone does have an answer, would you also know if there is any bump stop on the front suspension? I have pictures that clearly show one on the rear, but I don't know where one would be located on the front.

And, while I'm at it - at ride height, where are the tie rods - would you say they are level at ride height? Same question on the rear, except where would you say the half shafts are - level at ride height?
