   i dont think you get springs lower than 60 on a sax.. probly get custom made... or chop the springs(but i do not recommend!)!!

   Lower that back by mm not nicks. Tis quite bad. Also if your going to go that low on the front your going to have to upgrade the shocks mate

   Just took the whole unit off, got sand paper, primer, black paint and lacquer. Sanded the whole unit down, gave it a few coats of primer, a few coats of paints and a fair bit of lacquer, leaving to dry between each coat. Then hey presto, thats how it comes out like. Looks rather good imo. Though that car is going now, just sold on ebay today for £900, I have a MK1 VTS now

    Done 122k, interior has cigerette burns and rips in it, now has a few scratches and bump from other people, the interior blowers dont work, the throttle body needs replacing, and there is a problem where the car sometimes jolts when cruising along. Though still a bargain if you know what your doing to fix it.
