Default S1 standard ride height

Hi,

Can anyone advise at what height a standard S1 sits, ground to wheel arch, and at what point front suspension camber starts to become an issue and adjustable TCAs are required? Looking to purchase a suspension kit but want to minimise ride and handling issues. From what i've read Koni seems to be the best choice of damper but their kits seem to come with some different spring manufacturers. Anyone got views on that or other suggestions?

Can still get standard Ford dampers mate (try Ebay, new £100 a set), and a set of KBC (?) springs with standard poundage and height. The set up I run mate, so much nicer to drive than with aftermarket stuff and lowered.

i did have a look there... But the listings were a bit ambiguous as they seem to fit every mk3/4.
