   I've just has my saxo lowered by 35mm (but looks lower!!) i have noticed that the back end has become incredibly bouncy! I have been in lowered cars before and never felt the bouncing like mine!
   
   Is this a sign that i might need new shocks?

   Is it just on Springs matey? If you have standard shocks on the back, there not matched to the front and it will feel very vague.

   There is a check for this.
   
   Step 1. Open boot
   
   Step 2. Push the bottom of the boot (where the catch goes) down hard
   
   Step 3. If it osserlates, replace shocks.
   
   Bingo
