I think the V1’s drop the front by 20mm and rear by approx 10mm which means that the OEM travel needs to be more than 60mm front and 30mm rear for it to be legal.
I had my car in for service this week and I asked the dealership but they did not know which surprised me.

So little late in answering, not sure if you're still in the market.
In terms of inches, it's really where the full suspension drop would be. In this picture take 'before' the springs were installed - fully compressed would be somewhere between the 24" mark and the 24.5" mark on this tape measure. From this, the full stock suspension travel on the front would be between 3.375" and 2.875"
Considering the .7" drop, you would be looking between 79% travel on the high side, to 75% travel on the low side.
Personally, I think the drop is subtle enough not to question it. The Eibach springs are also black, so they do not stand out. I'd be shocked if
any inspection agency would catch this. I doubt they would look until the tire started getting into the wheel well.
Mine is the V2 drop.
