Wheelwell clearance on these front wheel drives cars is very tight. You have to maintain clearance through the full range of steering and suspension jounce. If you don't pay attention to the clearance, you risk destroying tires and/or tearing up body components.

Proceed with caution.

Good looking 1st Gen LH !!!
Unfortunately the aftermarket never really embraced the LH series Chrysler cars. Virtually any and all modifications are 'one offs" designed and built by their users. A few even fabricated air suspensions. There were a few "lowering" kits (springs by Eibach I believe) made back in the day but are rare to find now. Lowering springs also needed shims for the engine and trans mounts to maintain driveline angles.
An alternative to fill the wheel well would be to go with tires and wheels to fill the gap.
Check out the link below for some information that may be helpful.
