Issue with lowering it a long way is that on those coilovers the more you lower the less damper travel you have.
Ideally, you'd have a set of coilies which adjust the ride height where the damper meets the hub and allows full damper travel the whole time.
I wouldn't go too low, it will max the damper.
Second problem, if you max the damping adjustment to "11" it will drive shit. The damper won't be able to react quickly enough.
I would recommend starting at it's softest setting, and then working up whilst driving until the "bounce" is taken out from the ride. Any harder and you'll be going slower with worse handling and feeling more uncomfortable.
On my track car, it rides pretty well and is very compliant, is lowered only about 30mm (with 25mm torsion bars at the back) and is fully corner weighted.
It depends on what you want. Looks: low and stiff, handling: high (to allow decent damper travel) and soft (to soak up the bumps).
