3 inches? You obviously do not like your undercarriage. Too low for daily driving for me. But do what you want.

So if you have tokico shocks, you got coilover SLEEVES?

3 inches just seems too damn low to me. I wouldn't rock it.

i'm lowered on ground controls... 3'' front and 1.75'' in the rear... with the staggered drop i dont scrape at all unless its a steep hill. i wouldn't go 3'' all the way around, thats just too low and i think it would just look goofy. i get alot of compliments on my drop. its not the best setup for handling but i think it just looks clean. just my opinion

Nothing wrong with a 3" drop. You might want to get a camber kit if you are running more than -3deg. camber though.

Except, with a low drop, you're already running out of suspension travel, and a replacement UCA with camber adjustment will be taller than stock, and will reduce available suspension travel even further.

A 3" drop put me sitting on the front bumpstops, even with GC extended upper mounts. Definately not the best for either handling or ride quality, but it did look nice. Now I'm sitting with a 2 finger gap (6" from ground to front side jack points), and the ride is substancially better. That was with Koni Yellows though, and I suppose other shocks could be shorter.
