Getting ready to do a front end alignment and was setting ride height, currently I have the front set @ 4" and the rear at 4.5", the measurement is from the bottom of the undercarriage to the ground, since the undercarriage of the 818 is covered it make the measurements easy.

So what are other folks using as ride height for the track ?

What I would suggest is that you stay with 4" in the front and 4.5" in the rear. Over the first 100 miles or so your suspension will settle and may drop your ride height slightly. I have heard of some guys raising the rear end an additional 1/2 inch for a more 50/50 weight distribution as well. It all depends on what kind of racing you are going to be doing. Also remember that your ride height will vary when you have a full fuel cell and a half full fuel cell. When you are setting your ride height I would make sure you have at least half a tank. Hope this helps!!

I'd go with 3.25" front and 3.75" rear.
BTW, raising the rear 1/2" does nothing to change weight distribution
