How low can the JIC FLTA2 go?

I was wondering what's the lowest you can make these go? Can you like drop it 4 inches or something? Thanks!

They're inverted monotubes, and the adjustment **** is on the bottom side of the strut housing. If you go low enough, the adjustment **** will start rubbing the CV boot.
They recommend no lower than 1.75" or so, or else you also have issues with the tie rod geometry (this is partly Honda's fault). They're for racing, not slamming. They do what they're supposed to do, and do it very well. You shouldn't be dumping a car like that to go racing.
Consider B&Gs. Apparently you can dump those.
