   Surely all 60mm springs will lower the car by... 60mm?

   Spax 60mm springs on mine, absolutely perfect springs, had experience with over say 6-7 different makes over the years on different models and spax to me have always been impressive.
   
   Ive cut the bumpstops slightly too so the car is pretty low and doesnt bottom out what so ever.

   Theres no point in getting 60mm springs and expecting a good ride, if you just want a car to sit low then you might as well get some spax 60mm's but on their own they will be shit. Need to uprate your shocks to shortened units to maintain any hope of good handling and comfort at 60mm down

    Mines fine on standard shocks and ride is really hardly any differen to standard, alittle more bumpy but would expect that with any amount lowered, been down 60mm for 4 months and all fine, handling is god too.

    it will work if thats what you mean.
    
    at 60mm your geometry is not optimum
