What is your question? What's the difference ride height makes?
Ride height most importantly affects the amount of weight transferred, also bump handling. Keep in mind changing ride height also alters your droop. If you change your height, you may need to readjust your droop.
On certain tracks that are high speed you want less roll. This can be achieved in 3 ways. If the track is smooth, then lowering can be done to a point. If it is rutted and bumpy, it might be necessary to compensate with oil instead, but then again, that could also alter bump handling. You can also reduce droop to prevent the weight transfer to the other end.
On technical tracks, mainly indoors (clay) where it is tight. Sometimes you want more roll to get your car to turn and have more weight transfer for grip due to lower temps. Again you can lower the oil wt, or raise the ride height slightly, or increase droop. If you increase ride height and your car starts to push, then reduce only the front droop.
