All around aggressive, mostly daily driving.

Your ideal ride height will depend on what struts you are using. The most important thing to look at is sufficient bump travel. On the stock struts for daily driving, the ideal ride height is the stock height at minimum.

14" front, 13.5" rear has been given out as the best baseline for awhile now, but it depends on a few things like the damper used for bump travel, size of your tires and wheels for fender clearance, and even ground clearance for weather.
