No, 100mm is the lowest limit, as in if they can't fit a 100mm spacer underneath when in service (so if you set it to 100mm then fill the car full of people, it'll be lower and illegal)then it's green/pink stickered.
As said, it can be lower if certified, although what's the point! Road cars lower than 100mm generally handle like arse.

Measured between road and structural, steering, suspension components. Exhaust and spoilers allowed to be lower but no part of a vehicle or its load allowed to drag on the road.

What about the tyres - can they drag on the ground!

My mini was under 100mm. Pain the arse (literally). Even the most average of drive ways would have the exhaust scrapping, and I once had somebody following me on a classic car run comment about the sparks I was trailing. That suspension was hard too, bugger all travel. On a bigger car that low it would be carnage at open road speeds.

That's a ticket to save for a real tosser. Same as "indicator works intermittently". Of course it bloody does, its an indicator.
