Default KW V3 New Suspension Ride Height

Hi guys,

I just installed KW V3 Coilovers onto my Sports 6MT and need some recommendations on the Ride height prior to bringing it in the shops for Alignment.

I currently have everything on the KW V3 set from Factory Recommendation:
Front/Rear 9 clicks and 1 turn from closed for Rebound & Bump.

I drive my car very rarely, less than once a week unless it rains, and I track my Z at least 4-6 times a year.

From looking at the OEM Workshop manual
Stock 19" Wheelarch Height (Measured from ground) is
Front: 708mm (27.87")
Rear: 711mm (27.99")


Currently I have it at the highest setting which is:
Front: 27.25"
Rear: 27.3125"

It pretty much drives like stock, clears my stupid drive way curb and I can drive straight up over Speed bump without having to go sideways which I like. No squeak noise from bumpstop. However, I did get these suspension for better handling at the tracks; do you guys recommend me dropping it some more?

I know lower C.G. will be better but will I see a huge advantage in dropping the car another 1/2" or 1"? I will be taking my car in for alignment soon. Any help would be nice.
