Sorry.....but I CANNOT advise you that cutting "1&1/4 turns" off the top of each coil spring will get you close to a 3" drop at no cost to you..

Simple and effective.

You won't get 3" cheap up front. If you cut the coils for 3", you will have bad, uncorrectable camber, and will eat up tires. For a reliable 3" you want to buy lowering i-beams, which cost over $300 new.
