Uhm... why dont you just increase the height until you dont get any rubs on the "TIGHT" turns... That would be my best suggestion to you. I've seen low as the car get--meaning the header is barely off the ground.

Just lower it as far as you want and then take it for a spin and check for the rubs... if it occurs raise it up again, and then repeat step 1 again. keep doing it until you think its good. Its just a matter of trial and error.

Sorry not a definitive answer...

I think you should be more concerned with what is the optimal ride height that will yield the best performance without scraping. I'm at 1.8" no problems but that's prolly not low enough for you.
