    you should be able to go about 2 inches and still get it close to 0deg.

    anything lower than that and you will need to elongate the slots in the arms some.

    Don't you need shock/struts that can handle the lower ride, I mean won't they bottom out and limit how low you can go?

    I had to raise the car from the front some first using the stock car jack, then I'd fit the regular jack in from the side. I raised my car back up cause of the header clearance issue.
