There is (at least there was for our '88).

+1
Factory spec is 180mm +/- 20 new, +20/-30 after having been "driven for a period". We set our 88 at 170 after the alignment hassle, looks and handles fine and provides a little over 4" clearance under the front spoiler. Our 90GT was set at 150 by the PO, looks and handles better (helped no doubt by the Eibach/Bilsteins and Ott-links in the rear) but we have to be a little more careful about the front clearance (esp. since the oil-cooler is down there).

So I think your 160 number is just about right.
