Their website has a beautiful blue Formula with a set on but that's the only one I have seen. I'd like to know how much a car can be lowered without running into clearance problems.

Not sure why but everyone's wheel gap with the 18s seems huge, especially when compared to this pic of Stormtrooper. Knowing the suspension is changed from stock, just how low can a car go before interference problems arise?

Can't go very low or axle will ride the bump stops. Tires don't tuck inside the fender so only thing keeping the tires off the fender lip is the bump stop. Taller ride height helps with that problem and you get more suspension travel.
