3" is fairly extreme - it was most likely a coilover set.

This to the guy above me, the previous owner of my car chopped the springs to get a 3 inch drop.. personally, I think a 2 looks better, which is what I went for..

If you want dumped, go with coilovers

Cutting springs is probably the absolute worst thing you can do to the car.

You ruin the rates by the heat of the cutting, probably have a 5% chance of actually making them even, and your chances of blowing the struts are increased 500 times over doing it properly.
