Default OPG1 lowered coils

Any one use the 3" dropped rear coils? Was wondering how close to 3" it really is and how they performed. Do they feel firm cornering and whatnot. I plan on going low with my wagon but I do NOT want bags! Plus I plan on using it as a light duty truck from time to time so I'll most likely run air shocks. With that being said, would I get the same result with cut stock coils and air shocks? Thanks for any advise and input!

I dont know about the lowering coils but I personally dont like air shocks at all .I have air shocks in the rear of my 72 El Camino and it rides rough ,Im going to put air bags inside the coils and see how that does .

Rides rough even with the air out or mostly out?

Both empty or full it rides rough but the springs are most likely original and weak. When funds are available I may replace the springs and install the bags .

Well that stinks! Maybe I'll try cutting the stock ones first and go from there.
