What is the absolute lowest I can drop the car with custom springs, while retaining the ability to align the car properly. (I have stock suspension)

Hard to say; esp. since there'* no kit offered, and no one on here has done it (That I'm aware of).

ok there is a sensor that attaches to the rear controll arm of the car. this sensor tells the compressor if the car is too low or too high....if the sensor sees that the car is too low it will pump up the rear shocks to keep the car at the proper height, if the car sees that the car is too high it will vent the air out of the compressor to keep the car at the proper height.
if you lower the car the sensor will think that the car is too low and will compensate by rasing the car to the stock height anyway. So you have to dich the compressor and the ELC system
