   not great idea if your doing it on standard shocks, 40mm is really the maximum on standard shocks.

   +1 any lower on standard shocks and the insterts will bottom out on bumps and cornering, this is dangerous and car cause a spin
   
   Basic sports shocks e.g Bilstein b4 and Spax sportline are a waste of time as they are just re con standard units
   Imo I would go for something like bilstein b6 or similar as they have shorter inserts and wont bottom out plus are more progressive and tighten up cornering so ur not driving a boat lol

   60mm isnt too much. get a full spax 60mm kit though. if your on a budget i wouldnt go lower than 40mm on standard shocks. they get knackered so quick

   yeah all springs are the same. people usually say they might lower different amounts becuase the bigger the engine, the heavier it would be blah blah
