120mm and you'll be leaving molten metal on the road...if you're going for "hellaflush" look, but you still want to drive on normal roads and streets, look into bags or hydraulics, or you'll be leaving bits of your car everywhere you go. Coilovers can give you a very low stance, but if you max out the drop, you'll run into problems, as you can't adjust the height on the fly...

3" is still incredibly low. I am at ~ 1.5" with my 195/60R15 winter tires on and have found myself scraping the front fender liners on some of the bigger bumps/dips and by just turning my wheel ~90%. I am not sure how it will be with my 205/50R16 summers but I am expecting the same because there is only .18" difference in diameter.

If you do go -3", expect to run a fair amount of negative camber all around

big time camber, you'll be buying new tires every year...that's why i say it's not practical, and "hellaflush" is hella ghey...just my opinion...looks good for a show car, but for a DD or normal street driving, it's pretty retarded...

i'm on s-techs 1.5" down in the front, and i rub at full lock with stock sized wheels, and i've scraped my front lip on parking lot ramps, and i have a good 5-6" ground clearance up front...
