Default How Low is to Low on the front end?

With the front lowered, with Qa1's set to 2 and 300 lb springs, how low is to low? If the front lifts how much room does it need not to cause any problems? The problem isnt on the way up its obviously on the way down.. or am i thinking to much and it wont be a issue.. I am running skinnies up front and they barley clear the fenders, should i add more ride height?

I borrowed this pictures as a example.. my car sits higher then this one does.. would this car have problems?

that car also cant do massive wheelies since it has bars, does yours? if your front end cant go to the sky you can get a tad lower cause you wont need as much travel to slam down, hence the reason mine sits so high

Is yours the stock ride height? Im not really sure whats its going to do with the new setup.. Its always hooked well and settled down before the 60 ft.. not really wanting major wheel stands but it lifts out of the hole just enough to clear the fronts..

If I run travel limiters, can I lower the ride height more? I would like to get my car lower in the front, but I know that could cause problems with the landing (as we know m6 cars come down harder). Would it hurt to run travel limiters to keep it down a little bit, and also keep the landings softer letting me bring the ride height down where I want it?
