I reckon 35-50mm without noticing too much in the way of bad handling, beyond 50mm you'll need to be looking at combined shocks and springs or lovely lovely coilies.

Howzat?

you can only drop it as much as your damper will allow, if you drop it too much then the damper will not have enough travel to cope with larger bumps, if youve got the time take your springs off and see how low good it looks!!! haha don't be stupid and try and drive it like that though!
