I think an inch and a half is about as far as I would want to go for a street driven car. If you've got subframe connectors on your car, they'll drag like hell if you go any lower than that. Just a little drop will make your car scrape just a bit. Cosmetically, I think it's better looking than having that dumb *** slammed look.

Try this, measure the amount of space from the top of the tire to the edge of the fender. This will give u an idea of how much space u need to get rid off. My car needed a full 2" (spindles) drop in front and I went with 1.5" in back to give it some rake.

Specifically ask Mr. Iroc-z. J/K
For our cars, 2 inches is pushing it. Around here we have what we call "driveways". I know some of you back east don't have curbs, so you might not understand what I'm talking about. I have an '81 Elcamino that is on the ground. I did it just for looks, and I scrape everywhere. The difference is, with third-gens, the front extends alot more. So a little drop is actually alot.
