Pic request: SS with zl1 front end with lowering springs

Sup y'all. I would like to lower my SS with the ZL1 front and can't decide how low I should go. Deciding between 1 inch - 1.4 inches.
Thanks in advance

go as low as you want. the ZL1 bumper sits higher than the stock SS bumper. I woulda been screwed if I had kept my SS bumper on with the splitter I had on it. I went a tad over 2" on coilovers
