Headset question

I'd like the front end of my bike in a more aggressive position, ideally with 5-10mm below the stem, but it doesn't seem straightforward on either of my bikes so was after some advice. I've got:
Canyon Ultimate - Acros i-Lock headset with 15mm of built-in spacer. Apparantly you can buy a 4.5mm version from Canyon, but it's a special request item so I've emailed them but haven't had a reply yet. Has anyone got any other solutions, other than ditching the Acros and getting a normal headset ?
2013 Allez Sport - Currently have the 20mm cone spacer, could I simply replace with something like this ?

Any help is much appreciated....

If you don't have success with the spacer, maybe you can buy a stem with 17 a degr. angle0

For the Allez, yes, a smaller bearing cover will work, rather than the 'volcano' cover.0

Thanks for the help.
Canyon replied and I've ordered a 4.5mm Acros headset stack from them. And I'll get the eBay bearing cover for the Allez.0
