When you wind the coilovers down the damper sits further down in the shock body. This distance is finite. The total travel of the damper is probably equal to the maximum drop that youll achieve (and take into account top mounts and bump stops). You can only lower as much as you have shock travel to do so cos once you are on the stops it aint going any lower and TBH once you get close to the stops the handling will be shit.
I dont think anyone actually knows how close to the bump stops we are with the standard springs all the way down. Ill see if ive got time tomorrow. Shouldnt be too hard to measure as long as i can jack the hub up to where the wheel would hold it without lifting the rest of the car.
