If you want to use factory struts (shocks) you can go 1-1.5 inches. Anything lower would ruin your struts or make the ride sucky. I have had the eibach 1 inch its usally mixed for the X series, so the back is a little lower than the front. I have also had success with H&R. Now that i have 20 staggered on my car, i have factory springs back on.

Well I'm running kw v3's with no more adjustment downward . Non e61's may be able to get lower in the rear b/c of oem air ride in the back of the wagons .. But front is maxed out helper springs removed no adjustment.. Pics to follow.
