im lowering my v6 03 mustang trying to give it a meaner stance.. any suggestions on how many inches front and back i should go down?

and can anyone tell me where i can buy the cobra front bumper? its a hard item to find.
i already have the rear bumper and hood just looking for the front. and what can i do for some additional horsepower for cheap? or at least reasonable?

I went down over 2 inches on all 4 corners and truly appreciate the handling/cornering improvement. When lowering that much you should replace the shocks/struts and install caster/camber plates (to correctly align the front end). Everything's easier with air tools ...
As for the cobra bumper cover, check the site sponsor links on the right ... latemodelrestoration.com has them for $229+shipping (new).
Finally, the only 'cheap' HP is a cold air intake and underdrive pulleys... after that everything gets more complicated and expensive.

Correction, dropped 2.5" front, 1.75' rear ... the picture below was taken with the sun setting, so it looks closer to stock height.
