Default Rear suspension ride height on a BDR

I have nearly 500 miles on BDR #340.
I have the 17" rims and 315 tires.
I have noticed that the tire contacts the inner fender, particularly under acceleration, so im thinking the suspension has settled a bit.
What sort of ride height are you guys putting in with a similar set up?

thanks a lot

cheers

David

limeyd,
With out having it in the shop to do correct ride height. You can do the finger method. I hate for you to do it this way, but it will work. You can use a two finger method in adjustment. Yes the car will settle over the first 1000 miles or so.
