3-4 inches?  If you simply lowered the springs, there would be no suspension
travel left at all.  You'd be riding on bump stops (you and all of the kids
with their slammed Japanese cars!).  The only way to get this kind of
lowering would be to completely remanufacture the suspension changing the
position of the axles while maintaining suspension travel. Maybe there is a
kit to do this, but I've never seen one.
