Give it a drive, but doubt it will go much lower. With a car sitting there is no movement in the suspension to settle it is there?

To sit it on the wheels you need coilovers and that is about 100 to 120mm
That is about 30 or 20mm, sorry

i dropped mine 110 with coilovers and it looked the business!!!(plus sat how you explained how you wanted it) and now i have a cracked sump!!!! worth it umm unsure but it did look good.
i dont think i can keep stocking sumps tho not easy part to find !
if you wand it lower i would invest in coilovers but don't drop it to the extreme as i did
