3" front drop spring ride quality?

[VTKidder]

I'm sure this has been posted before, but search is disabled, so here we go...the greatest drop front springs made are 3" without cutting the spring. In order to do more, spindles and discs must be added. I have drums, and really no financial backing to drop hundreds on a disc / drop setup at this point.

If anyone has done a 3" drop spring in front, how was the ride and handling quality? I read a post a while back that had the pros and cons of each kind of drop, but didn't copy the text and save it. Any opinions?
