2" is pretty much it for springs. The eibach sportlines are something like 1.7" front and 2.3" rear. That's as low as I've seen it.

3" is just impossible to keep for a normal daily driver. Make sure to get some struts though! I see you have chopped springs you're going to need some new struts soon.

no springs go that low. in order to go that low you need coils and new struts, or bags

H&R springs, i am convinced, are the best springs for jbods. they only drop it 1.7 or somthing, but on almost every car they are put on it settles to a little over 2 inches.

i would go with nothing but H&R springs, which can actually be cheaper then eibach springs, and in my opinion are twice as good.

That's too low to drive around on no matter what setup you have. If you want to go that low, you need an air ride system so you can bring it back up on the fly when driving.

agreed, springs arent made to slam a car, they are there for performance... if you want looks stick with air bags...
