   are some 60mm springs lower than others. sometimes i see saxo,s that are on their arse on 60mm springs and some dont look that low. just want to no if there is a really low spring make eg: G-max 60mm springs?

   In my Punto days Avo were always guaranteed to slam you on your arse but what springs are the lowest is a poor way to decide upon suspension.

    the ones which sit lower sit that way because the bumstops on the shocks have worn away

    you should have changed the shocks never mind the bumpstops, the handling will be awfull on standard shocks Bilsteins from gmc are the only shocks which are genuinely shorter than standard.
