Depends on how you drive & what the roads are like in your area but you could surely lower a good 3-4 inches if you were willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort?
What size rims you got?

hey panda i remember you saying before that the adjustability of coilovers is nice if you live around snow.. what is the concern of driving a lowered car in snow ?

3 to 4 inches is really low. I have neuspeed race (about a 2" drop) and there is really no fender gap in the front.

If you get 18's make sure to get the hub centric spacers. Also adjustable suspensions would be good in the snow cos if you get bits of solidified snow (aka ICE) on the road that are bigger than 3 inches then they will take chunks out of your bumper paint!
With 18s you may have a hard time dropping it heaps.
