As was said earlier - depends on your approach/departure angles. My Saturn, which didn't have a super short nose, was lowered to approx 5" clearance and I never had any issues with scraping/dragging and never had to approach at an angle. If I lower this one, chances are I'll go a little lower than that, as economy would be my goal, not performance. (If you want to maintain performance, some suspension types are very sensitive to going too low)

Honestly, the most annoying thing about lowering a car a lot is that its harder to get it up on ramps. I have 2x8s that I drive cars onto first to ease the transition onto ramps now.
