You would balance up the front by dropping the stantions through the clamps by the same amount. 4" is a lot to drop and would give you ground clearance problems. What's your inside leg?

Seems to me that if you want to drop 4 inches you probably don't want an SV... No offence but that's a heck of a lot, it'll almost certainly give you ground clearance troubles as well as affecting the handling. Changing the dogbones that much will also change the linkage rate a lot, which will affect the way the suspension works.
