It really is a question why you want to lower it. If you're after great handling you probably benefit more from coil-overs or at least harder springs, urethane bushings, revalved shocks. If you're after the looks than you can lower it as low as you can stand it (and not scrape on crossing yellow lines).
The front lowering with leaf spring requires the removal of the spring and it is not a 10 minute job. It is doable on jack stands but it will take time.
I think 1" lowering is a good compromise. More than that will make you scrape a lot. Some cars ride higher than others so on those you could lower a little more.
