I just ran out to the garage and took a rough measurement - 14" to the fender lip would actually give me a 2" drop from stock. I should be ok with 1.5"-1.75". That chart will come in handy though, to be sure.

With GCs, you can't pre-set the ride height off the car as easily (meaning, you can't easily estimate the settled ride height by eyeballing the assembled strut before installing it). And since you're using a somewhat unique spring rate/strut damping combo, you have to do more fiddling to make that work. But, you can get it dialed in and set properly yourself. Just takes more thought and effort is all.
That makes sense. Definitely something to take into consideration.
