Default Lowering control arms plus lowering springs???

Wondering if anybody has any experience with this. My car is currently lowered on BMR springs with Koni's that are on the lower perch. And the front is pretty damn low. Would the car be OK if I went with 1" lowering control arms? Just a thought. I'd then of course have to figure the back end out, which is a bit too high for my taste as it is. That lower perch makes a difference up front.

It would put you quite low. I have them on my own car with Viking coilovers and have to have the adjustment above halfway up the shock to maintain adequate ground clearance. This is how my car looked when I first let it down, still on the stock tires up front. It looked cool but the headers were practically on the ground

Ground clearance aside, would you even be able to to turn the wheel and drive the car normally?
