The M3 rides higher because of two reasons.

1) The front diffuser is lower to the ground and BMW/NA requires a certian height for curbs, since the front diffuser is lower and the curbs are the same height the car needed to be raised a bit.

2) The cars are also a certian height not for ulitmate shock travel or for some other suspension issue (control arms being in a neutral position) but for the simple purpose that the DOT requires headlights to be a certian height level as well.

So if you want to lower it 1" or so, it will be fine, anything more than that, you simply change too much in the engineering of the ssupension.
