Just curious to what ride height peeps are running? You can check your own fairly easily. The front is taken from the outer(of the two) bolt head on the front cross member.

That you can be sure of......whatever it is.
Seriously, from memory the standard ride height is perfect for all purposes. A track set up might be a little lower, but that´ll be a result of set up work - esp. camber and rake. The ride height (i. e. the rake) also influences the handling. E. g. a little oversteer can be cured by lowering the rear a little - in case one more hole on the ARB would be too much.
It´s a good idea to spend half a day on track with a specialist and set up the car properly, it might even take a full day. A way better investment than 20 extra horses.

Laurence are you at Kent night tomorrow, will bring the RS, can you have a look if you are there please.
Going by the picture it certainly looks a bit too low at the front. Seems to have quite a bit of rake.
Not sure if i will get to club night or not at the mo.
