This would be nice for gaining a little ground-clearance, but you would be moving weight higher, rather than lower... of course, custom inner fenders would solve that problem, and allow you to take advantage of the body-drop.

Just how low do you want to go,guys? My El Camino is definitely lower than both your cars and if I had my 17x9 fronts re-backspaced from 5" to 5.5",I could probably take the car down another 1/2" to 1",with ease.
And,my car still has the inner fenders.
