How low do you go? (lowering heights examples)

Hello
I am about to put 20" wheels on my w215 and will use lowering links to lower down, I need to decide by how much to lower my car. Could you please let me know how low u went, and ofcourse photos would be great to illustrate the numbers.
I dont want to drop it all gangster, just a meaner more planted look thats all.

THANK YOU ALL in advance for ur suggestions and advice!

I guess it depends on the tire size you get too. I just lowered mine with links and 20 staggered. The rears are 275/30/20 and they rub slightly on dips going certain speeds. Next time around I may go with a more aggressive series front and back. I lowered mine lower than inch. But I simply just raise higher when driving around bad roads.

Ghost - Thats a very nice looking CL indeed, and they were indeed the 20" rims i was looking for aswell. Have you got a more sideways angle of the car, i want to see how concaved they are at the back compared to the fronts.

Can i ask what offset and width the alloys are at the rear? And have you thought about getting 265/30/20 tyres on them?
