But the suspension Geometry will suck as the axles will be out of proper alignment and bumpsteer will increase. You don't want the lower control arms any farther than parrallel to the ground.

I dont know if you would have geometry problems, but i know it would look really sweet with a nice oversized set of rims on there and a 2 inch drop..

Where are you getting springs that will drop it that low? You cutting lowering springs?

on most cars you don't want to lower them much more than 1 inch... any more and you will change the geomitry to the point it will handle worse....

you'll look really cool and fly with your car off the road in a ditch because you reduced your efective contact patch under compresion in a corner...

not every idea AutoZone sells to ricers is good for performance.
