Lightbulb Lowering CLS500, How low?

Hey Peeps... I've had this account for a minute but never posted anything, I have a 2006 CLS500 on 20" Niche Apex 245/30/20 (Front) & 275/30/20 (Rear). I need some advice how much to lower to get a good ride out of it.

Im going to Ghost Motorsports to install Links in a few weeks, But I would like to hear from fellow CLS owners, How low would be best?

^^^ that looks good and ride is probably still comfortable. I think my car is set at 25mm front and 20mm rear. However, amg's already sit quite a bit lower to begin with.
