   Got my saxo lowered 50mm on the front today but it still looks abit high, do springs take time to settle etc? have drove it around and bobed the front but not a lot of joy.
   
   Cheers guys

   I haven't lowered my Saxo yet but I have read on here that they do take a while to settle yes.

   I had 35mm springs before and its exacly the same. Is there any difference between 1.1 and VT springs as the engine must weight more on the bigger engines making them sit lower?
