Default how much suspension droop minimum

hi guys, fitted coilovers today, how much droop/sag is acceptable? I have 20mm at the height I want, I cant go much lower, if I do my wheels could catch my arches under heavy load cornering

It only jacked up 20mm before the wheel lifts, being the droop. Is this OK? The actual travel downwards is OK as it's about 60mm
I can't wind coilovers down to gain droop as my wheels will hit arch
