Sorta depends on your tire profile too, right? My car was at 5-1/8" front and 5-1/4" rear with Avons and it was pretty darn low. Looked cool but I was a bit worried. I raised the car front and rear about 1/4" and it seems better now, though it may settle some more. The tread of the tires is just about even with the bottom of the center or the fender flares.

I also should mention that the ratios in the manual (car raises 1.4x the amount of adjustment of the front shocks, and 1.0x the amount of both rear shocks (Jag rear)) didn't work out. The car seemed to move more than those adjustments would indicate, so I just used trial and error and raised each side equally.
