#1 Rear Ride Height

I have removed the old exhaust system from the car as it leaked and was missing a front downpipe bracket.

The car seems to sit extremely low and the exhaust centre boxes did hit speed reduction bumps. I have measured the rear wheel arch to floor and they read 585 and 580mm. Would someone ese with a V12 who's car does not hit speed bumps be kind enough to measure the floor to wheel arch for me so I know how far out, or the rear springs may need replacing?

I have new rubbers for the centre section and have replaced the rear exhaust bracket mockup by the last owner with the correct one.

I have a new Bell exhaust so don't want to risk damaging it if the height is too low. I have tried searching, but have not come up with any figures.
