Let me say my $.02 worth... I'm lower then most and I push my car to the limits, my front bumper is still alive..lol the only thing I scrap are under the front bumper corners, frame and that is about it... It's funny hearing people scared that they are going to rip of their exhaust. That is not going to happen as our exhaust sits up above our frame.
So in a nut shell do it and don't look back,,, Here are some pics
And one of me and my homeboy Z33allme

IDK if this qualifies or not. It's as low as I care to go because I HPDE my car and I need some suspension travel.
Shameless plug for SPLParts!!!
Car is lowered on SPL-KTS coilovers & has SPL rear mid links, rear camber arms, V2 front A arms, sway bar endlinks, and Hotchkis sway bars. The car handles great and I couldn't be happier. Kuah @ SPL produces excellent suspension components and stands behind them 110%.

Got my coilovers installed yesterday 1.5" rear 1" front drop. Fenders rolled to allow a lower drop in the future ( when its not my DD) I am happy with it though. theres still some settling to do and a desperate need for an alignment. I have them on a very stiff dampener setting, not full stiff though, and I actually like it.
pics make it look like a .5" drop....!!!!

LOL yes you said it perfectly! I've been driving slammed cars for the past 5 years now in my area and I know EVERYWHERE there is a bump, and everytime I hit one I am like damnit I knew that was there lol. You gotta do what you gotta do if you want the look. Pain in the *** but it's killer. And I don't have a body kit so my actual frame is that much closer to the ground.
maybe you guys should check your tire pressure?

Many times I found the difference was my tire pressure getting low, sometimes as low as high teens or low twenties. Of course other times its something simple like having a passenger.

It's funny because something that "small" really can be the difference in scraping and not scraping. I drive over the same speed bumps everyday, the same way. Some days I scrape and some days I don't

Love to slam mine , the roads and parking decks in the greater DC/Baltimore would destroy my V2 and probably more 
.
The roads suck here in MD so unfortunetly have to go with a conservative drop for now.
