How low is too low? (Static Drop)

I recently did a 5.5" static drop on the front of my 67. I used CPP 2.5" spindles, 3" DJM springs, Porterbuilt shock relocators and 235/60/15 tires up front. My control arms are aproximately 2" off the ground. I had to trim them a little to accommodate the 15" rims and CPP drop spindles. I love the way it looks but I am constantly bottoming out. Should be concerned about damaging my control arms or some other suspension components? The sway bar brackets on the control arms are only an 1.5" away from hitting the upper spring cups.
