Default Minimum drop on Ohlins?

What would be the bare minimum drop achievable with Ohlins DFV coilovers?

I'm not interested in stance and more importantly my driveway is such that I only just clear at standard ride height!

Thanks

don't know why you would not be able to run them at stock height?

You can. Mine are set at -25mm front, 30mm rear. Sometimes it looks as though it's not lowered at all:







Apologies for the lack of contrast - iPhone, black car, etc!

They will go 20mm higher than the specified & recommended 20mm drop from OEM.

Great, so they will essentially run at standard ride height if need be

Yup - the kind of subtle drop that might actually improve handling & not ruin it.

The minimum recommended drop is 10mm as you can read from the manual posted.
You could probably go a bit higher than that though, but they advice against this since the damper body make come loose from the lower bracket.
