I'm going to use the BC how-to thread for recommended alignment specs, I know you posted some as well as a few others so I'll take that all into effect. I'm looking for a setting that will increase the occasional twisty road drive yet not be too harsh on highway driving which is what I do most.

i think your springs should be settled.
well, if you set them as low as possible pre alignment, you can't set them any lower afterwards right?

. so if you're sure you want to be about 1.5" lower all around...go for it. i'm about an inch and a quarter lower all around. i have found only one location where bottoming out is an issue at this height. btw, i have an omp lower support bar, which is what hits....if i didn't have it, i'd be fine. that said, the benefits of the bar outweigh this issue so far.
lastly, i'm kinda obsessive, so when i dropped the car another 1/4" (from 1 to 1 1/4") i got another alignment and the pre and post alignment numbers were significantly different. the "slam it all the way" method you propose right at the start would save you that step
