I'd pretty much agree with your figures.. Tha angle becomes more severe under compression... I calculated my spring rate for this angle which brought me closer to the 400 lb range. FWIW.. :-)

I got the a-arms traveling, looks good. This is the information on why I think it bottomed out:

Shock and coilover removed mounting holes are 14"
Ride height with shock and coilover mounted on ground 12 3/4
Shock full extension 13 1/2
200 lb 11 inch springs adjusted to the fullest they could be left only 3/4 inch to bottom out.

Now to decide what to do.
