But usually, if the lowest part of the car like the front or side ground effects spoilers are sitting at least 5 inches away from touching the pavement, that's good. If the front or side lower spoilers are 10 inches high off the pavement then obviously it's a little too high.
But usually the way I know if the car is sitting too high or too low, the way I tell if it's the right height is by putting my foot under the car. If I'm standing right outside facing the door and can stick my shoe with my toes under the car without touching the ground effects I know I'm good. But that's usually about 2 inches. I don't like my car being THAT low or what they call hellaflush or the way they lower them for that Showcar lowered look where they don't like to have much of a gap between the fender and the wheel.
Because then that makes for a stiff rough ride and then you've got to deal with lots of scraping on speed bumps, and up and down driveways and ramps, so for the most part I keep my car at either stock height or lowered 1 inch. But no more.
