Ride Height - How low to go ?

Hi,

I recently had KW's superbly fitted by Grizz at Unit 20 and I have been playing about with the ride height, but cant make my mind up where to set it at.

Just wondering what other people have their cars set at ?

KW Paperwork says between 340mm and 360mm from centre of hub to wheel arch.

I have the front set at 337mm (outside of what the paperwork says I know) and the back at 343mm (give a bit extra for the kids!).

Any ideas / opinions welcome....................

What suspension have you got and do you run it hard or soft.Mine is higher than yours and bounces/crashes about all over the place!!
