I can drop it about 2" more from the pic above. I have a few concerns with it when it was that low though. The biggest problem is our local driveways around here. So many are very steep and I kept hitting the front tow hook (even my own drive way I hit when coming over the drain path). My other concern is my charge pipe needs to be higher at the fire wall. So I need to ponder this for a while. I might bring it up into the cabin under the center console? The other thing that I could do is a skid-plate / undertray with a front air dam like you suggested? This would protect all the charge pipes and improve aero?

Anyway I need to rethink the ride height. lol
