my brother had cheeap *** coilover and awesome kyb struts and the ride was still pretty crappy. the best way to get the smoothest is to get some of the best stuff ou tthere. I know alot of people like the Sprotline eibach spring set. but im not too sure if thats a 3inch drop i think its a 2.5 or so. Not totaly sure. I know a few people on here have GroundControl "coilover/sleeveover" kit with eibach springs which suppose to be awesome and u still get that 3 inch drop. Just shop around and look in here

3inches is too low go 2 wirh eibach springs and tokico blue's shocks (gas) smooth
make sure you get a camber kit for the front and the rear you can use allignment shims in the rear and if you busings are worn out or broken replace them but other than that its clean
