Default ride hight on the front with adjustables?

putting strange adjustables on teh front with 275lb springs and was wondering what i should set the ride hight at, right now its at about 29.5 from ground to middle of fender because of all the weight reductions and stuff...should i set it at around 27 in or what ?

I have mine set @ 25" flat with me in it. Is it track only street/strip? I've talked a lot with JL about ride height this last week and we've come to the conclusion as low as possible is best for racing. What's the rear suspension/height?

Level with the rear, maybe a hair lower than rear at most is what I was told.

Take a spanner wrench and go to a test and tune. No two cars will respond to the same adjustment the same.
