Default Help with height settings of coilovers

Guys I'm getting KW V3 installed in a couple of days and was hoping you could post pics of your cars drop and also the height. I'm trying to work out what height I want my car set at. I don't want it slammed as its a daily driver
Thanks in advance

i was slammed with no finger gap in the back and half a finger in the front, and i got 19x10 +38 255/275 put them on my car and my god was i rubbing like crazy. So i raised the car about an inch which is like 18 ridges from the bottom and im flush with the fender, still rub though, cause i got my fenders rolled from some terrible person.

I have gone for 20's purely for cosmetic and not really interested in making my car lighter, i do however have some performance items on order. I'm getting 245/30 front and 285/25 rear Goodyear Eagle. The coilovers are booked in to be installed on Tuesday, my wheels will arrive from the USA around a week later so just wanted an idea of what height people are running on their coilovers.
