Hey Patrick, ERA is from potholed CT. They use 6" of travel for a road car. The originals use a pretty similar amount from what I can gather from my set up. Remember that's at the wheel travel, you need less at the shock. I have heard of originals twisting rear lower arms as a result of the anti-squat design running through too much travel. The front lowers also recieved a factory modification to beef them up with an angle back bone added to the tube for whatever reason. I think an excessive amount of travel will make it difficult to acheive minimal bump steer. Good stuff isn't it!
