How much can KW V1 drop before hitting a bump/driveway?

KW-V1 is not adjustable right? so what is the standard minus (-) height? I remember reading it somewhere but I cant find it.. Thanks.

KW V1 are height adjustable, not dampening or rebound adjustable...
I think the minimum drop is approx 1" on all four corners from stock.. of course you can go lower...

How low do people with V1 drop? What is an idle height to drop an E92?

I'm a little over 2" lower in the front and just under 2" in the back.

Basically, my fenders are "sitting" on top of the tires

See my garage for a picture. Btw, mines a E90.

I usually only have issues with steep ramps/driveways.
