 Need help from xA6x owners

Just need to get some measurements to assist with the IRS conversion in my RWD Starlet.
Prefer from a standard car, but a nice handling, evenly lowered car will do.
Need the following measurements-
Front crossmember to ground (both sides)
Measurements from ground to each of the 4 rear IRS mounts (to the floorpan not the rear crossmember)
Diff and floorpan section I am using is from a TA63, but I understand the floorpan is shared with the RA63, and the MA61 (other than the extended front).
Any help would be very appreciated, I want to ensure I match the mounting heights for the front and rear crossmembers to avoid any odd handling issues.
Thanks
Callum

Mine is lowered an inch or so all round (King Springs) I can take measurements for you sometime, if you like, but I don't have anywhere level to park on unfortunately. Only bit of flat ground is the front lawn, which isn't so good to measure to!
FullySik - 4 inches, eh? All round or just the front? 4 inches at the back would be neg-camber city!

I've got a stock TA63 sitting outside, still intact 
A rarity i'm sure.
If it's not raining in the o so sunny Victoria tomorrow I might pull a tape measure out. damn rain
pics of it here

I've moved it to my backyard, so I won't be measuring on the grass

That would be much appreciated, we had the measurements but they disapeared somewhere in my shed. 
The actual car we are using for parts was a TA63 Carina 4 door with the 3T-GTE/W55/F code IRS.
Details and some pics of the rear end progress here.

Thanks
Callum
PS - There was also an RA63, with 18RGEU/W55/F code IRS in Japan

Could you confirm what point the front measurements were from. Was it the lowest point on the crossmember or fron the point where it mounts to the chassis rails?
Thanks
Callum
