I want to buy a coilover system that offer the lowest possible drop. 2 inches is the most i've seen so far from Spoon and H&R, but i'm looking for a 3 inch+ drop. Kind of like Tanabe Sustec Pros. Also, does the Spoon Sports Xbrace make the chassis lower to the ground? Don't want to scrape it! Any imput on this would be really helpful, Thanks.

If you haven't already scraped your front end on a parking bumper, curb or driveway, you soon will, even without lowering the car. You might keep this fact in mind when considering this mod, especially a three-inch drop.

I scraped the front when I was running stock. I started becoming more careful. Now with the new front bumper, without lowering I have to be even more careful. I've already scratched that 3 times.

If you're looking for a 3 inch drop, you'll only have about 2 inches of clearance...and that's without any bodykits.

FYI, rear camber goes out past the adjustment throw (stock) beyond 1.25" drop.
