Question How far can you lower an 85 GS?

I removed the stock spring perch and put in a coil over set up that would probably allow me to set the car on the ground if I wanted to lol. For fun, certainly not a daily driver, how far can I drop the car before the struts bottom out still being able to drive? I know the geometry and everything will change as well. I've got it down 2 inches now and still clearing the tires and everything...

I have stock rims/wheels with illuminas, stock mounts and haven't got the roll center blocks in yet.

Also does anyone know the stock distance from ground to front fender at lowest point near bumper? Or ground to middle (horizontally) of the fender right above the top of the wheel?
