I've had them lowered beyond drivable and there was still room to go. No pics as it had to come back up...

The fronts go very low, the rear will depend on which spring length option you select.

So If I wanted to lower the car 1.5 or 1.75 what spring length should I go with? The rears I heard only go a little more than an inch.

You can lower the rear more than an inch. I would swear you can tuck in the rear wheels using the shorter springs. You should email the guys at bc, they're really knowledgeable.

And very helpful, I had an install question and they emailed me back within the hour. I was floored.

There is a little more than an inch of adjustment in the rear for the spring. I think the default spring is a 230 mm but I believe they also have a 210 mm. If you go that low though you are going to scrape on everything.
