Default coilovers vs race springs? how much lower can i go than race springs?

i searched, but couldn't find anything on how much lower i can go with coilovers vs say the neuspeed race spring that drops it like 2.25 inches on a civic? anybody got info for me, and also i have heard that most of the time coilovers will be set to different adjustments all the way around the 4 corners of the car just to have it sitting level. is this true also?

It depends on several variables. Why do you need to go lower than that?

Sometimes. Why does it matter?

i have the race and they are stiff and are low anything lower then that would be just stupid. Very stiff, if you like a stiff ride.
