I would say that was a little low, but it's only a guess. Assuming running a fair amount of wing I'd have put both figures closer to the three figure mark. Without strain gauges on your wing uprights it'll be really hard to tell accurately.

One way to work it out would be to measure suspension compression at speed - this could be done with a tie wrap round the damper shaft, which will then record the most deflection. The downside is that braking or bumps will upset that record so you'd have to make sure you didn't brake and avoided bumps... Or use datalogging, if you have it on the car.
