    You could go as low as you want i would think. I think the main restriction is the bumpstops. I had mine fully loaded (stock height) and it would only have been an inch off the bumpstop and still not covering the tyres. So IMO some shorter bumpstops would help get it lower and still have some travel. although you might want someone with a bit more knowledge on the topic.

    dont have any under car pics, you can trim the bump stops down a little if its going to be close, mine sit about an inch off at the mo, the suspension is rock hard and the ride is very firm you certainly feel the bumps on the road.

    mine is superlow i think? lol but at first it just sat on the bumpstops so ended up having to cut them in half and still only sits 20mm off of them!
    which makes for a nice and bumpy ride
