Two weeks ago i took apart the rear coilover and attached the damper back to the car without the spring.
I then took measurements of how much the wheel travelled vs how much the damper shaft travelled and got some wild results.
even accounting for measurement error, i could not get close to the 0.75 figure ( was averaging around 0.85 ish).
Furthermore i would get different results depending on where along the path i measured. Full droop to oem height i averaged around 0.9.. from OEM height along about 1.5" of compression i averaged 0.80ish (need to check my notes, its been two weeks)
now i'm curious...

The feedback is much appreciated. I've added the following:
Rear = 0.85 (at full droop) to 0.83 (at stock height) to 0.80 (compressed to bumpstops)
Since I can't vouch for the accuracy of either you or RCE, I split the difference and tried to make it clear that the value changes. Constants are for suckers anyways.
