i want to drop my scamp some in the front and was wondering how many inches i will get form cranking the bars down in the front
 
i lowered the front of my '71 Dart as far down as i think you can go and it's probably too low. i have maybe a 1/2" of clearance between the bump stop on the frame and the control arm. it still rides very well , but on big bumps, it hits hard. this is my second Dart that i have had this low and it's okay, but you have to be very careful.
 
if i drop it that much i would want to drop it in the rear too b/c i want it to set almost level buy low
 
there is a trick where you can flip the front spring hanger over to lower the rear of the car. i have never tried it but it has been discussed before, so it shouldnt be hard to find someone who has done it. i'm not a fan of lowering blocks at all on any car with decent horsepower, so i wouldnt recommend them if you are planning on building the engine up or drag racing your car.
