For those who want to lower thier X safely: once you go beyond the factory "access" height, start seriously considering removing the ping tanks (aka accumulators). This will limit the amount of compressible volume for each corner, making the bag react faster (eliminating the bouncy/mushy ride often associated with extreme drops), but still maintain a comfortable ride for everyday driving.
