i have also cut a portion of the front bushing and added longer bolts in order to go lower than what the factory adjustments allow.just make sure you get that thing aligned afterward!

Check out my signature - nothing cut, just cranked on the factory bolts. Keep in mind that I have 19" wheels and tires. It makes the car appear lower. If it is not low enough after letting the car settle, you could do some cutting then.

Did the same thing and like the looks much better.

Based on this writeup since I have the F45, does lowering (safely) 1/2" front and rear justify paying for another alignment?

This page explains it pretty well, except it incorrectly refers to the front lowering bolt as "reverse threaded". It's not reverse threaded, you are turning it in the opposite direction from expected because you are turning it from the tip (see below).
