Default i have to wait for mine to settle, but i dont think it will go down much more than that if you
install it correctly.

i think you would have to remove some pieces to get it lower

Default no. if we can figure out the rear spring rate though ...
there are shops that will make the spring we need to do it.

Default Did you guys take out the "white" plastic spacer?
It's not noted in the instructions but when speaking to KW - they stated it should be removed. It will allow you to go to about 1.5" lower. I had mine set at 1.25" inches lower than stock. Also - measure from the fender lip to the center of the wheel for a more accurate measurement.

Default Hey man... any luck with Stasis ?
Another one I can think of is UUC, since they got springs for TTs.

Default i just took a look and i don't see anything like that ...
i see a black base which can't be more than a 1/6" thick. on the other hand, it looks like adding some threading to the shock might allow the perch to be run up another 1/4" or so.
