Lower than you should.

Just max it out.

Depends on what you want to do and why you want to lower it.

Also, "handle" "pass" "affect"

you should lower it until the front bumper can push a leaf on the ground

I'm just going to put this link here for the OP.

trial and error is usually a great tactic. but for you ill recommend lower it till your bumper rips off while you drive

Anything past 1.4" drop will affect roll centre. 1-1.3" drop is probably the most appropriate if you feel the need to drop the car.

Anything lower than 30mm from stock height can negatively affect suspension geometry. That's the rule I've stuck by and it's worked pretty well. I couldn't see going any lower than that for daily driving anyway.

Why lower it at all? Didn't the engineers get it right the first time?

Dude, I just installed my 71Rs again(225/45/17) and they filled in the gap a little. I just saved myself a couple grand :D
