    For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

            No, not possible to drop the bike lower then the belly pan clearance.

            3" is an extream drop, would require significant changes to the suspension to keep the bike from bottoming out/causing issues/still be rideable. 2" or less is generally fairly safe to do, if your carful with speedbumps, etc...

                6" holy crap, im a short guy but that rediculous. if u wanna be a ricer buy a civic. your bike has a certain geometry that makes it handle in a controllable manner scrapping frame isnt in that design.

                i could understand if u are a woman, i tell my girlfriend that 6" is the length of my finger so she all sorts of confused when it comes to lengths <-- joke btw

                  I guess if you're going to put it on 6" wheels also, yes. Otherwise you will literally have your bike frame on the ground.

                  does she believe you? if so i may recommend telling her that semen absorbed through the mouth/throat actually enters the bloodstream and goes to the brain, where it acts like a stem cell and increases mental capacity. If that doesn't work just convince her threesomes are a proven form of birth control..
