i drove an integra that had about a soda can height of clearance, not an insane drop or anything.. but enough that there were some driveways and streets were i would just scrape no matter what angle i tried or how slow i was going, even with the OE front lip taken off. i almost cracked the oil pan twice over bumps but i was lucky and the crossmember took the hit
i suppose how low is too low depends on how much tolerance/money you have for scrapes, what the approach and departure angles are like for the driveways/parking lots that you use.. etc for me.. the integra was a beater and as long as the oil pan stayed intact and the bumper didn't come off.. i was good to go.. but it would have sucked if it was a front end i put a couple of grand into to make pretty..
