... with stock suspensions?

I like my cars riding a bit lower to the ground then stock, but on my '73 Dart the LCA-bumpstops already touch the frame and the front is nowhere near 'low' yet. (The top of the front tire is still visible in the wheel opening.)
Looking at the suspension setup I'm thinking dropping the front any more is simply not easily possible.

Pic of the current stance (the rear will be lowered soon aswell):

I like the paint job, any more pics?
You can get shorter bump stops, or remove them all together to see where you want to get it and then see what you can get in there for bump stops.
Also, a bigger wheel, like 17" (bullitts) will make it look a bit lower where you may want it. If you are lowering that much, I would get thicker torsion bars if you have not already, not to sacrafice handling. Something like the 1.03" are $219 pair (powdercoated):

or you can get the ones I got, 1" for $199 (not powdercoated):

In the rear I went with Hotchkis leafs, lowers the car 1"-1 1/2" in the rear. But if you want to leave the stock springs and they are in the stock locations, just flip the front spring mount upside down to get 1-2" of lowering.
