Likely you will be over-compressing the damper and operating outside the range that is acceptable for the damper. Just a WAG off the top of my head this AM.

I think you bought the wrong coilovers... you should sell them and get the ones you want. Most people that buy the ST Coilovers don't buy them to go very low.
