Well in SA the lowering laws are extremely gay. Lowest point of the car needs to be 10cm off the ground, but the biggest killer is "eyebrow height" which is what I got a nice little sticker for. Now, the front has to have 345mm or more from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the guard lip. What that means is the front basically cannot be lowered AT ALL. However the stupidness comes into play because you can dump the arse end down a good 2.5 inches (295mm is the lowest) and still be totally legal, I dunno who makes these rules, but there's more than enough clearance at the front to allow for lowering.

The road clearance of a motor car must not be less than 100mm measured at any part of the vehicle other than the wheel rim or brake backing plates. (This does not apply where a lesser clearance has been specified by the manufacturer.)
