Ride-height

Ok guys searched but no definitive answer.

What is a stock ride height for a non US spec car to start with? - to fender lip.

What is best compromise ride height you recommend for the street?

As you know I’ve had H&R lowering springs, now I have PSS10’s ready to be installed.

What shall I set my ride height to (front/rear) no rubbing? - to fender lip?

The only data I've seen referring to a Euro car (I believe it was a PCA Panorama article), all measurements to fender lip through center of the wheel),

C2 Euro M030 25 1/4 (666 mm)
Stock US Turbo 26 3/4"
Stock US Gt2 25 1/4" (642 mm)

You need to define some more parameters; stock wheel & tires (tire make), aftermarket, standard or modified camber ect? Other Euro guys can chime in on what they have; I personally think just below the GT2 (25"?) is the low end for day to day use in the US if you have the lip clearance.

Hope this spurs conversation & gets you more local data.

You are right. Thanks. So, more specifically I just measured my height; front: 25.11 inches (638mm) passenger side and 25.39 inches (645mm) driver’s side, rear: 25 inches (628mm) and 24.72 inches (635mm) respectively. Brand new Pirelli P-0-Rosso’s, stock wheels, tyre sizes and stock alignment. So, what’s the general consensus? Should it be same all way round? Or slightly lower at the front/back?
