Ride height suggestions

[Damz]

Getting the car suspension set up after getting coilovers fitted and want to know what would be an ideal ride height for street use.

Alloys are 17" and tyres are

Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R 235/45 R17 W (94)
Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R 255/40 R17 W (94)

I'd ideally like to be able to go over speed bumps etc.

Same tyres and sizes i have at the moment and i have no problems. The main thing for street use is what suspension you have. On full soft mine is fine for street.

I can't imagine you will catch arches or anything on 17s unless your really aiming for vw stance.

I've got mine about 25" from the floor to the arch at centerline of the wheel and no scrubbing

While we're here. This is worth a read.
He's by no means the be all and end all but address a number of things with good clarity

Got it all sorted, lot better than before I even fitted the coilovers.
