   Right ive finally come to a decision that im going to lower my westcoast as it looks like its on bloody stilts at the moment!
   Is this kit any good as i havent got much money atm and that

   Also i heard lowering your saxo can increase chance of knackering your driveshafts and that??
   Thanks guys

   ive got the 60mm spax kit. quite firm but depends how much you care about the ride comfort. hasnt really bothered me tbh
   its said things wear out quicker than they would unlowered, but ive been lowered almost 2 years now and have had no problems with driveshafts etc. 40mm isnt exactly alot so i wouldnt worry. just make sure the rears done the correct way

   i would keep them both equal mate.. if you drop the front 40mm, drop the back 40mm or your car will be wonkey.

   ive always dropped the rear 5-10mm more as its higher than the front standard and suits the flare of the vt skirt
