how low for DD?
Just a little lower might be nice for looks, but I don't want to be scraping my front bumper.
Live in Atlanta, lots of poorly maintained roads there.
Perhaps an inch? Planning on the BC Racing BR's.
Also, should I replace the old bushings? How much would that run me, what kit should I get? I just got my rear TRD sway bar kit in the mail, looked over the install steps, going to wait till I get the coilovers to install them all at once.

I m running on BC now. and for ride height, i dumb it too but no problem with Daily. Just need to be careful when you exiting parking or over speedbump.
BC is a good investment imo. it makes my Tc grip like crazy at the corner.

It's all on where you drive. I stay in an area with hills so many entrance to places have inclines of varied degrees. I'm on 18s with 225/40 tires with the car lowered to where the fender look to be resting on the top of the tire and manage driving just fine, just have to angle the car at a few of the steep entrances.

That call will be up to you. If you like the look of being "slammed" but have to go slow over speed bumps/dead squirrels, etc, that's your call. I'm sitting at about a 2" drop overall and have scraped the bumper before, so it depends on a lot of factors.

My wheels aren't aggressive(18x7.5 +42), fronts are like -0.5(left side) and -0.8(right side) and rear is -1.5(left side) and -1.9(right side). That's just from lowering alone it naturally cambers more negative, now when I get my other wheels put in I'll def have it dialed in.

Ah icic, I'm running 18x8 +35 BBS wheels and I rub to the point where I had to raise it, about 2 finger in back and 1 upfront, I'd run negative camber but in reality how bad is tire wear, example 5500 miles I drive or so in summer.
