   40mm ftw always a nice safe bet in my opinion...
   
   Beware when getting the rear lowered tho, as you dont want the 'click' technique, try find a decent reliable garage pref with some previous work done on friends cars etc

   All saxo's look a million times better once they've been lowered. Make sure that you do it properly and spend the money now or you'll regret it later when you have to spend out more money to get it done properly -.-

    ^^ such a drop is not very practical, some people have probelms with such a low drop on the rear however it does look good

    mines 60/80 and looks great imo, not the best for handling but still handles well and is fun to drive but it does sometimes feel like its dragging its arse around and is prone to understeer.
    i have no problems with it at all now i have a straight through, i'll get a pic up in a min of what it looked like when i had an engine in the boot earlier in the week

    Mines 40/45 ish allround on spax shocks and springs and it handles really well, its a good height although when traveling at speed it can jump around abit on bumpy derbsyhire lanes. But on the smooth stuff its great.
    
    Personally i wouldnt go any lower than this, as when your not in the mood, even this height is annoying, bumps you around and you have to weave around to aviod the shit pot holed roads in this country.
    
    Also from what ive read and been told, my kit spax psx is very good on the road and not as harsh as some other suspension out their.
    
    So i suppose it all depends on what you want from your car and what kit you go for.

    Why not the "click" technique. How else can you do it and why is the click technique bad?
