 Lowering the front is fairly difficult.  The 'normal' ride height puts the space between the upper arm and the bump stop at roughly 3/4".   Cut a coil and drop the front by 1/2"-1" and you basically have no front suspension.  I've been happy w/ Delta's uprated spring package.

Alternatively, the rear ride height is a little more than 2" from the lower arm to the bump stop. 

The rear can be modified by switching to readily available 2" coil-over type springs available from http://www.afcoracing.com,  eibach, etc.  You just need to fabricate new spring seats out of exhaust tubing.  I believe Ron is using an 8" long spring rated at 250#/in on his ITS car.  For a street car I'd suggest 175#-200# if you can find them.
