Default Coilover hight setting

I have my03 JDM sti with tein coilovers fitted, the ride hight seems low between centre of the wheel to arch its 350mm all round. What's the ideal hight so I don't have to buy roll centre correction kit & get the handling back.

Front - 386±12 mm (15.20±0.47 in)
Rear - 366±12 mm (14.41±0.47 in)

You need to know how much thread will be left in the bottom housing if you raise the car, normally a minimum of 50mm.

Yes that is the setting range but I set mine up spot on. Try going for the lower setting to start and see how the car feels. Front 374, Rear 354.
