Default koni /GC---EK hatch---How Low???

if i have the ots koni yellows with 425f/500r how low can/should i go without damaging the shocks? how much can you lower the front from stock before you mess up the geometry of the suspension? sorry for the newbie questions but i tried searching w/o any luck

thanks

I know this isn't an actual answer, but not too low that you're bottoming out. To measure this put a zip tie around the shaft of the shock between the bump stop and the body of the shock. Drive around as you normally would, then come back jack up the car and see where the zip tie is. If it's all the way at (or shoved under) the bump stop then you're too low.
