Here's a trick i learned, get a large marker and paint the bottom of the chassis. Now set your ride height to about 10mm front and rear. Now run the car for about 5-10 min. then check the chassis (if you have no scrapes lower the car), (if you have some scrapes your close) and (if if have alot of scrapes raise the car).

Angel is correct. 10mm or lower is usually what we run. Typically we run about 7mm in the front and about 8mm in the rear.
