Eh? You got 5mm extra ride height by screwing the seats all the way up?
I think I got 30mm doing that... Max'd them out though....
75mm is a bit harsh on UK roads.... I run 90mm and even then take it pretty carefully over speed-bumps...

That's too low for road use, especially if you sump is lower than your chassis. My sump is at 75mm, but the chassis is 120 front and 125 rear (with me in it). That's as low as i'd like to go for road use.

Check with Marc, you may need longer pushrods, I think they made some different lengths.

Doesn't it depend on the size of the wheels??
