cuz u can go so low.. and it handled like friggin go-kart suspension
just cause your low doesnt mean you have wicked handling. try using a sticker tire lets say my personal favorite, the falken azenis, also get a really good alignment done this will help, when i say really good, play around with your toe angle and that will make a difference, also notice on drift cars how they well some anyway have wicked camber ? not saying thats awesome for street driving but if you plan on doing something like that it could work out.

lowering the car lowers the center of gravity, the mx-3 is small car to start with so this is only going to be a marginal gain. when selecting a strut keep in mind the stiffeness of your spring, i would IMO save up and buy adjustable ones, this way you are able to play around a but more and find whats best for your needs, droping your car 3" with stock struts is not a good idea, the strut will be useless and you will be riding on your bumpstops ( the thing that stops your struts from busting through )

if i was going to do my suspension again i would use koni yellow or kyb agx struts, suspenion tech springs ( i had em and like them ) with some rota 15" wheels, with a set of falken azines tires.

IMO this type of setup will yeild the best results when set up properly :driver:
