Do you mean lower it by three inches or to within three inches? And is this your starting point?


Assuming you meant lowering it by three more inches from the pic above, I think you will have fender fouling galore on bumps and curves. I would try different increments for the front first. I hope there are many intervals for you to try.

From there, you can decide if you like the looks of what actually works best. If you do, you can try the different spline methods others have worked with for the rear. If not, you have more tweaking to do before attacking the rear..
