Turning off the caps lock will get you down at least 6 inches.

^^^I'll explain for Ian or better yet, the poster above you.

You need to turn the caps lock off cause when you type with all caps, it's like you are yelling at us.
Don't type in all caps and you'll probably get more responses...

You are going to have to put airbags on your car if you want a 3+ inch drop.
I believe I'm getting 7in with my drop.

bags is the way to go. No spring will drop your car like a bag.

BTW, bag is air suspension.

Why so low unless it's just a show car? A nice 2 inch drop should look sweet and not give you problems.

The drop you want depends on what you do with your car. If you tell us what you plan to do with the car maybe we can recomend some good setups for you. Do you plan on building a show car? Track car? or a fun Daily drive? Each set-up requires a different suspension set up.

I dont think you know much about this stuff. Get a 2" drop and you will be fine. It will sit nice and be perfect for daily use.

If you want your 3" drop then you gotta bag it.
