Lowering rear

Right now I have 4" blocks in my rear(No remarks) I want to lower it a better way. I am looking at the coilovers from CCP they lower 3" with a 1 inch block total of 4".

First question will I need to notch the frame? They say 4 or more you need it but I have four now and dont need it.

Second is the coilover kit and an adjustable tracking arm all I need?

Third anyone use this kit and like it? Is there any other benifit from coilovers Ie. better ride more smooth?

This is a daily driver.

Thanks

I've lowered a bunch of them 6 inches in the back and never needed a c-notch.

Re: Lowering rear

Well, I was gonna say to lower your rear just bend your knees a bit. But then I saw the " no remarks" thing. So as a show of respect I won't say anything.
