   Im looking to get my saxo lowered by 60mm sometime soon(ish) its a 1.1. Bassicly Im looking for advice on what sort of kit to get and where's good to get them. Obviously Im gonna need shocks aswell as the springs but Ive had no luck finding anything on the net.
   
   cheers.

   Without coilovers, maximum you can lower a 1.1 is 50mm. This is because it is the same kits that lower the VTR/S 60mm, but the lighter engine of the 1.1 means it's lowered less. This is contrary to popular belief though. (if you don't believe me, just check the product numbers on VTR/S kits compared to 1.1 kits!! They are the same)

   Ahh right, looks like It'l be a 50mm drop im looking for then lol. Also I had a feeling the difference was to do with weight rather than different springs etc.....
