why would u want to drop your car that much
3 inches is way too much i think
i think 1.5-2 inches is a great drop

uM - I'm slammed 3 inches, and I don't scrape on everything - you gatta learn how to avoid bumps, and avoid bottoming out... It's worth the looks and the perfomance IMHO - H&R coilovers

3 is getting a little too low for my taste...yes it may look nice slammed, but i'd rather not have to keep an eye on every single bump on the road while i drive.

I would prefer 1.5 to 2.5 you would be okay! definitely coilover so you can adjust it the way you want it! If i haven't mistaken in here in california it's 21 inches is the legal height ride! mine is 20 inches but they stop trippin 'bout it!

skunk2, ground control, eibach, ish nice but if you have the money TEIN is perfect!! no worry at all! push of a button!!

mines 2.5 front and 2.25 back. some of those bumps are just so ruthless, like an area by a plaza or mall cuz they are just so big, but besides that i usually dont hit anything, oh and those big speed bumps hit my apexi N1 piping all on the bottom

heh, I'm lowered 2.5 inches in front and 2 in back, and I went off-roading (unpaved backroads behind the local mountain) last weekend I scraped on some of the rocks, but nothing too bad. Haha, the truck guys were all "wtf?" when I passed by

2-2.5 in the front is koo with me, and maybe .25 higher in the back. I have some negative camber, but I also don't rub on anything...except my inner fender lining that is all chewed up already from before.
