If youre lowering a 360 or 340, short springs, and rear lowering blocks are available from classicswede in the for sale section man.
Or chop your own front springs if youre feelin saucy. Still need blocks for the rear leafs though.

mines down 2".
Still usable.
looks tidy.

depends how low you want man.
Seen bigger blocks, cut more coils.
When it bottoms out, theres your limit.

And welcome to the forum dude.

No Can do man,

my 3" front drop springs will not get you that low. With the 3" drop you only have about 25mm suspension travel left. The wheel will not tuck in behind the wheel arch as there is all the bracing for the strut tower there.
That low can be done but will involve refabbing the inner wheel arch etc to make it work.
