   Pretty much as it says in the title.. i think mine has but its hardly noticable.. just looks about 2-3 cm lower than most saxos when they are side by side. Is there anyway of checking and my saxo seems to be really sqeeky over bumps is this good, how can i sort it out etc etc?
   
   Any help appreciated people :thumbup:

   well i would firstly check the front springs, n see if there red or yellow or if they have any sport stickers on them "Gmax" etc

   go on parkers and find out the height of your car....compare this to the actual height?

   To be fair Dan, it does look pretty low. If u push down on the wing over the front wheel, does the car move down much? Lowering springs are much harder than standard, so if there's very little movement, then :thumbup: & Vice Versa.

   I reckon its lowered about 30 on the back mate. Just from pics ive seen of it but it isnt standard. Unless ur springs are knackered lol
