Default Adusting Suspension height on 98 honda civic ex 4dr with tein adjustable coil overs?

I was trying to find a good height for my car? I don't really race anymore for auto x but i do drived spirited. I will have check the height currently but I'm using 205/50/16 inc wheels/tires and it rubs a little in the back but I don't want to be back to stock height I think I have 2" in the front and 1.5" drop in the back i was thinking about just making it 2" all around any thoughts?

The fronts are 13" from the center cap to the fender and the backs are about 12.5" I'm thinking of just doing 13" all around should i do 13.5" in the front and 13" in the back? should there be a 1/2" difference between the front and rear? I have my small spare in the trunk, a 5gt of oil bottle, and the jack so there is not much weight in the rear affecting height.

driver side Rear (no rubs 12.5 " height)
Camber -.7
Toe .07

Passanger side rear ( rubs 12.5" height)
camber -1.2
toe .14

Front driver 13"
camber -.4
toe .05
SAI 11.3
Included angle 10.9

front passenger 13"
camber -.4
toe .05
SAI 11
Included angle 10.6

some one was saying the way the camber/toe is might make a difference. I have skunk2 camber kits all around.
