Default ride height baseline for 996 trackday car?

I'm looking for a basic ride height for a dedicated track day car. '99 996. No cage. No attempt at weight savings at this time. DOT r radials. Spec 996 JRZ package, Tarret gt3 clone swaybars, adjustable rear toelinks and locks.

The front and rear tie/toe rods are not adjustable for bump steer.

Is there a recommended ride height that will be adequate for the track, but not so low as to get me into trouble with excessive bump steer? Getting the car set up this weekend. Thx!

edit: More specifically, is the gt3 setting of 112mm front/ 125mm rear the best setting for a non-gt3 car?

I have a similar dedicated 2000 996 C2 track car. Has the JRZ RS Pros, all of the Tarret stuff, and all the rubber has been removed.

I have been at Front Height: 110 mm ; Rear Height: 123 mm for the last year or two. It has worked well for me.

I've been as low as 95mm front and 110mm rear with good results when I was running Cup car shocks in my 996. But the suspension was solid, fully adjustable, and the car weighed 2520 dry. 110/125 is a solid baseline to start from.
