   you cant get 70mm lowering springs for saxo (althoguh im sure someone will say you can)
   
   and if you going to go down 60mm at the front, you want some better shocks too, even some buget ones are okay like apex or spax vsx.
   
   im -60 at the front on just springs and its fucking horrible
   
   the rears are not as essential as the fronts so if your just going for the look, just lower the torsion bar to match the front.
   
   although on saxp people will tell you that you need the most expensive suspension all round. but just get what works best with-in your buget.
   
   hope this helps

   the 70mm ones on ebay do go 70mm because PI make them. But they only fit the standard model saxo's not vtr or vts.
   
   if you intend on going that low i advise you buy new dampers aswell.

    coilovers arnt needed to go low, the 70mm ones from ebay do lower that much if you uprate the dampers to shortned ones but i remember some one on here saying they didnt go down 70mm on stnadard dampers. you not fancy a set of custom springs?
