The correct way to measure ride height is to go under the car with a pair of inside calipers or whatever you have that will correctly measure a distance from floor to the measuring point on the car while in your extended hand.
For the front, look for a green-headed bolt a few inches ahead of the front anti-roll bar attachment block. Measure from the flat surface to the ground. In the rear, look a little forward and inboard from the rear anti-roll bar attachment block. There is a flat spot on the crossmember with a little hole drilled in it. Measure from the flat surace around the hole to the ground.
This is the perfect time to do corner banalcing and alignment and it is recommended once you change the ride height.
For a street/track compromise setting I found that 115mm front and 135mm rear worked pretty well, if you're careful on the street.
