Default is 3.25 f and 3.0 r drop too much for stock shocks?

i am thinking of droping my car to 3.25 front and 3.0 rear, i already have a camber kit, but i was wondering if it will be too much for my stock shocks?
would i have any other problems with the car?

That's assuming you can get 3+ inches out of the drop and still have any suspention travel.

It will be bouncy no matter *what* springs/shocks you get with that low of a drop.

hell yes it is, and if u wanna run that low, it would probably be a good idea to get the Ground Control extended top hats so u get more travel out of your shocks

is there a reason other than appearence your dropping your car 3 inches? it will ride like garbage and unless your roads of perectly smooth your gonna scrape up the bottom of your everytime you hit a bump, but if thats what you want to do go for it, but stock shocks will not work, i would reconsider to a 2.5-2 inch drop, even for that i would recommend aftermarket shocks though
