Could be the twins' struts are stiffer than most so they can handle it though.
I don't know about the 2017's, but for '13-16 the struts were stronger than the springs. So an aftermarket spring with a slightly increased spring rate ended up riding better than OEM.

Going lower than 1-1.5 risks the axles' cv joints. Enough people have broken axles that I will not risk it. I'm happy with my 0.7 drop and slightly stiffer spring.
