I doubt you will find anyone much lower than 1.5" in the front and probably more like 1.25". I have been told we usually end up slamming our upper control arm into the body before we run out of suspension travel if you go much lower.

Also 03threefiftyz mentioned that below 1.5", the Roll Moment starts to get thrown all out of whack as well. I am not sure how to measure that personally but I am sure he speaks from experience.

That Voodoo spindle + camber arm that someone posted from Sema a few weeks ago would solve that problem and potentially allow you to go even lower. I can only imagine what they are going to charge for that part though.

I believe I'm at an inch. I'm now on 18's so I have more clearance there and I've have raised my car little by little over the past year so I feel I'm near a perfect height for my coilovers. First of the year I'm going to be ordering and custom setup. I want higher spring rates and valved to properly.
