Low is pointless unless you like replacing tie rods and cv axles . Get a set of ground control camber plates and pick up a extra 3/4" of lowering and keep some suspention travel . Meagans are not they bad I ran a set on custom springs lowerd about 1.5 all the way around . People allways have something to say about every coilover set ups out there Blah blah

Every coilover I have ever used aside from groundcontrol which slides over the factory lenght strut (ground control plates make a difference here), you adjust the ride height where the strut mounts to the knuckle you loose no travel on the coilover at all. Depending on the coilover manufacturer you may have to set preload on the spring then you lock the spanner nuts once you set preload you do not lower the car adjusting the spring perch you adjust the height at the strut mount once you have reached your desired height then you lock the coilover perch spanner nut (lower one in pic). This is a pic of my 240sx coilover

^^ Your forgetting one thing this is a Fwd platform where you have a CV axle witch make clearance between the base of the strut when you lower strut housing . I don't even know if GC camber plates are compatable with most coil over kits . Again low is what the op is looking for . Incase some don't know the GC plate mount ontop the strut tower whitch gains some lowering with out loosing travel and damaging struts and other parts . All coilove have thier limits on how low to go .

I have used ground control setup with gc camber plates not arguing here it was just mentioned in a previous post I also agree with you on compatability with coilovers, as for coilovers you still adjust it the same way whether fwd/rwd, with cv axles or not again not loosing any suspension travel. But yes you are limited to how far you can go with cv axles but I think they have taken that into consideration maybe shortening the overall lenght of the coilover. I dont have any clearance pictures of my b14 coilovers I may shoot some pics tomorrow. Pic of my b14 with megan coilovers on it I actually like how it rides

I actually like megans coilovers, it handles damn well with them the only thing I would like to add is the bumpsteer correction kit I did snap some pics today still have alot of room to go lower but I chose not too and not needed IMO. I really like how yours came out and I will say it again you have an all around good looking car you have definately captured the classic look.

Pics of coilover and axle shaft still has room to go lower with full suspension travel on the coilover, being all other variables will function normally (axle shaft, tie rod, etc).
