Default Tein CS Ride hight???

I know this may be a dumb question, and i tried to search before i asked, but whats the ride hight adjustability on the tein CS coilovers. I was looking at pics of the set-up, and it didnt look like it would lower the car much. Im in the market to buy a set, and im wondering how low it could be set, if its -1.7" max then i need to look at other options as well. I looked on tein's web site and the description said about 1.7" in the front, does that mean at least a 1.7" drop or is that the max? Could somebody clear that up for me!
Thanks,

Ivan.

i have tein ss, my car is slammed. covers the tires (245/35/20 front 275/30/20 rear). about 3.4" drop i believe.
i don't mind the stiffness, doesn't feel as bad to me as most people say.

they are TOO low, and especially in the rear... I ended up raising my car back to my ride height as measured stock, and it rides and handles significantly better. The car settles an extra inch too, so drive it around for a week before you get it aligned.

I think the question is, how low do you really want to go?
