I think my numbers are a page or 2 back in this thread. This was done in '92 after the second make over. Original front Konis and (then) new Aldan rears. When originally completed in '85, a short series of drives to settle them. Hard braking and acceleration to shift weight is beneficial as are uneven surfaces.
Don't go by a number so much, my numbers may be different than yours, Dan's or the milkman's. Just gradually sneak-up on the look and function. If / when you get rubbing, go back up a tad.
Hitting the brakes hard at a hundred can cause rubbing if you overdo it. Full lock turning seldom happens and always at walking pace.
I wanted the car as low as possible to get the CG down-beneficial dynamically for cornering and braking. Don't just do it for 'the look'.
And never get the nose higher than the rear-level at the worst or a tiny rake. The larger rear tires alone will rake it.
Edit: I may have put my specs in the 'Ride Height' thread...
