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.

I'll measure the ground clearance of my Euro M3 too as from photos the Euro M3 looks lower in stock set-up than the US M3. Maybe this is due to US regulations?
