Ride height question

For all those track/race peeps, What is the ride height of your cars?
Mine is a 325i with a Leda setup, but I'm not sure what the ride height should be from floor to wheel arch.
Any help would be great, thanks
by the way the car is going to be a track car only so I don't need to worry about road comfort.

Hi,

My 325i track car is ground to wheel arch:

61.5cm at the front
59.5 at the rear

On 15" wheels with 195, 55,15 Goodyear F1 tyres, Bilstien Shocks and springs for use on the track but it is a road going car also. It does roll when pushed hard on the track but is well ballanced and behaved - I think I'm going to try:
A. New anti roll bars
b Lowering further with stiffer springs

Just fitted a cage 35Kgs in weight so the car now weighs a total of 1055kgs

Hope that helps :D

Mine is ~100mm at centre of front crossmember, and about 120-130mm at bottom of differential.
