I am curious about ride heights

[Goblinfanclub1234]

What is everyone running for ride height. for me right now its...

Front: 6.5"
Rear: 7.0"

I feel like I am too high but I don't want to get ruined by pot holes and speed bumps.

Lower front a-arm and rear control arms level, beyond that I haven't worried about or checked it. And I have never had the bottom of the car hit anything. This is the with the shorter wheelbase version, so a little less likely to drag.

I've not hit the undercarriage on anything, but I do hit my front splitter from time to time. Only if the bump/pothole is decently sized. I try to avoid them but ish happens sometimes. I'm set to the video/picture recommended settings for height and not ever measured it.

I can measure mine tonight when I get home (if I remember....)

If you want to get technical about it you should be sitting at about 1/3 of the shock travel at ride height.

Front QA1 has roughly 3.875 inches travel so should be set with 1.3 inch compression
Rear BC coils has 4.625 inch travel so should be set around 1.5 inch compression

This is ideal in the motorsport world but the average road condition should be taken into perspective on setup.

This varies with wheel and tire size as well. I have 225/45/15 tires and have the height set so the tie rods front and back are level. I went to taller shocks in the front for extra clearance for driveways and crappy roads.

I think this is the best answer, I think we've seen folks running 24" tall tires and others running 28" tall tires, which should account for about 2" variation in ground clearance on a otherwise identical setup.

I'm running 235-45R17's and got the following:
Front 4.75"
Rear 6.5"
