Your not going to lower one of those 3" without some heavy duty shocks like a Bilstein B8, 60mm H&R springs will actually drop it 80mm so will be close to what you want. Wheels will depend on what room you have left in the arch which wont be alot.
I use a Klan internal spring compressor, but there are Chineseum copies on ebay which will do the job.

I used vogtland springs with bilstein shocks, ended up cutting them quite a bit still. 3” is a lot for a 124 On the 16 from my Rabbit On 17” AMG

Check what thickness spring shims are currently fitted , I lowered my SL quite a bit just by fitting a smaller shim , 1 pip on the front and 2 pip on the rear
