it seems as though every coil-over kit except one is limited to rear drop amount. This is because the rear springs held in by the rear axle perches have to be a certain length or they will fall out over a bump. Unless the coil-over kit you purchase has adjustable droop/ rear shock length you are limited. STD coil-overs have adjustable droop.
I would not suggest buying Ksports anyhow, they are not made well.

apparently we sell these and they have adjustable shock length which would enable you to lower the rear considerably.

The front can definitely go 3 inches, probably more. The rear shocks can be adjusted, but I believe he is correct in that you can only go a limited amount in back. Mine are all the way down in back, which is about 2-3 inches I'm guessing. The riding characteristics are harsh, even on the soft setting. Overall, I am happy with them though.
