Can't say for sure. It can't be very much.

I have the OEM shocks but I'm going to replace them with progressives of the same length. I like it low, and I know the limitations.

I'm totally comfy on it. and yes I have addressed the bottoming out part when I first bought it. I bought progressives and added 1.5" of height back there. That cured the scraping and bottoming out. well I still scrape when I turn but I'm an agressive turner. I now have V&H side shots on but I still scrape every now and then when 2-upping
