Default Need Help with H&R Coilover settings!

Just got my H&R racing coilovers today : )
I was trying to be modest, not having the car too low, and had the height setting of about 2.5-3 inches above the wheel. Ended up stupid me the car has been all bouncy and stuff for the rest of the day.

Can someone please tell me whats is the optimal height/settings for these coilovers so I dont scrape my fenders or be too bouncy?

Thanks a lot

I had mine installed in a shop. all i can tell you is that there is a three finger gap for the front wheels and a two finger gap for the rear wheels. hope that this helps.
