   I have been doing a few changes to lower my saxo on the front.. Bought eibach - 30 springs which resulted in only 15 mm drop. Bought - 40 springs, same result. And yes, I have been driving for a while to wait out the full effect of the springs.
   
   Recently I bought a pair of koni sport shocks. They can handle a -45 lowering. But sadly the lowering still did not happen..
   
   What to do, any ideas or experience on this lowering problem?

   Do you have the Euro 8v VTS and using Springs which would drop a 16v?

   I've got 50 mm springs on mine mate and there's not much more difference than yours to be honest plus in England we have speed bumps in the road so if cars low you scrape your exhaust as you go over them
