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?

You'd grind away the bottom oy your engine

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.
