Re: Ride height, I was told to put a piece of 1x1 on top of the tire and adjust the strut/spring adjusters so the fender opening just touched the stick. Worked fine but changes camber. Don't know if you have the new camber plates on the front. (I had to install them about 4 years in when they became available). No bottoming out in the wheel wells. May change some after springs settle. Ran aournd with a sack of cement (in a plastic bag) in the trunk for a while. Things may change some when it gets on the alignment rack.

My clearance issue was the bottom of the bell housing/scatter shield. About 4-5 inches. Watch those speed bumps.
Good Luck,
Al
