This is why didn't specify a figure. The started with orginal had 5" between the chassis and the ground at the front and 51/2" at the rear. As these were modified over the years by owners. These figures changed dependant on tyres, rims, modified suspesion arms, etc.
As every kit has there own thoughts on what makes a good handling car the suspension mounting points, suspension arms, uprights all could have slight varations due to enginneered improvements. Therefore you need to start with your with the manufacture recommendations.
You could also spend time with a string computer and reverse engineer the ride hieght, only still be out.
In NZ the law states for road registration the ground clearance between the chassis and the ground must be 4". All the young lads & girls with there lowered jappers keep running fowl of this.
