There's no "perfect height"

There's a "right" height for each driver.

I personally enjoy H&R race on a good shock like Koni yellows or Illuminas.

Koni + Ground control
Tokico + ground control

Or either of those shocks with a good progressive spring like H&R, eibach, or neuspeed.

If you want add a few washers to the upper arm bolts in the rear. You want some positive camber for handling purposes. But with zeroed toed you'll be fine on tire wear.

It doesn't matter how much you lower it. There will still be some assbag who tells you it should be lower.

Start looking at cars in the A/C section and when you find something you like the look of, PM the owner/poster and see if they might be able to tell you the setup. After that, research that setup and any other setup you've found to like the look of. Then hopefully you can find something you like the looks and performance of.
