   Hey guys and girls so my car is lowered about 60mm on the back and its getting to me on how bouncy the car is ive been told its lowered on standard springs and shocks!
   
   anyway my questions is can i leave the springs and just uprate the shocks when i higher it up? and if so what do i get? i was thinking spax??
   
   any help would be great

   The back is a torsion bar, no spring, get some stiffer shocks and it should sort it

   it cant be lowered on standard springs, unless they've been cut

   just stick to a basic apex kit off kamracing, for £211 they are the cheapest you'll get however they are still a good kit, plenty of people use them (including me), no one has anything bad to say about them just for a bit of fast road action

   couple them with some wishbone/arb/rear beam uprated bushes your saxo will feel like a completely different car
