if u mean 3 inch drop thats way too much especially if you have 16" rims....i got a quote for king springs for $200 as with Dobinson springs....

a little tip is that you take a ruler and measure the distance between the wheel arch and how low you want it to sit ... you now have an exact measure of how much you want to lower it ... i'd suggest leaving a bit of space for how much a load of meat will lower the car too

lovels do the LOWS which is prob what ya should do...means its not toooo low but still low...or you can go super lows if ya want...but youll have to make sure you get the right rims with right offsets and width and everything...

Personally I wouldn't go super lows. I was considering it till the guys here straightened me out. Now I've got white line lows on order. You won't get enough suspension travel from the S/L therefore it's be a really rough ride and it won't handle particularly well. On top of that your wheels will probably get a lot more damage from pot holes and what no. It isn't fun driving on a dented wheel, a friend of mine did it 4 a while. Kinda scary at higher speeds too.
