As I walked up to it yesterday from the front. Between the lowing and the single bar grill I had the impression for a second that I was walking up to an SL. It had that feel. It was a little weird, but it made me smile.

My car is at 26.5" at normal ride high setting, so it can go lower or higher depending on the setting.
I would lower yours a bit more and add some wheel spacers to push the wheels out a but if you plan to keep the stock wheels.

I know I may have the wrong car for this, but I'm kind of a cornerer. And I have really noticed that lowering the center of gravity makes it feel a little more like it is on rails. The ABC does a great job of making our beasts feel lighter than they are, but when the ABC gets helped along by lowering, I think the handling moves to another level. And this is why I don't want my tires and fenders too close together. Also, I think the car looks better at the European stock level, as I don't wear my pants or hat in a way that looks right with the shrouded wheel look.
