    i just want to do it the cheapest ways, so i just want to buy new springs for the front and i want it to look good, yes, we had speed humps, my friend got her saxo at 50 at front and 60 at the back, but ive forgot what that looks like, just need to find some photos of saxos what are at 60 mm front and back

    Also if you go down really low in the 60mm range you will kill the std shocks, and speed bumps are a real pain, the recemended is about 40mm and speed bumps not as bigger p.i.t.a
