well you want the car to leveled when you look at it... if you are doing this yourself well then its whatever looks good to the eye... Might want to get it done professionaly!

but if it was me I would lower it 1.8" front and 1.5" rear...

Ride hight should be set with the lower control arm angles..your lca's should be slightly angled down from the center of the car......If you have your lca angled up from the center of the car, your rollcenters and below ground level and you have a understeering pig. Setting ride hight by wheel gap is dumb.

Mustclime is correct in his response when setting up for a more performance stance but most ppl don't see it like that... one thing is that these cars you can't really lower more then 1.5-1.8" or else you are asking for big trouble!
