   They would fit but not lower the car 40mm, you need to lower the torsion bars to do that.
   
   Not the best make out their...

   Yo dont have to change them, but uprating them would help the general setup. You dont want to have a much stiffer front end than the back end.
   
   Well that is just my opinion anyway.

   Just lowered 50mm and fitted PSX shocks, we'll see how she rides and play with the settings for the roads round here, can't set it stiff, btw anybody do stiffer torsion bars? Problem lowering the car and fitting and shorter front springs is that you will get relatively more rear end roll and we all know what a stiff chassis the saxo has got not.............
