   i wanna get mine lowered 50mm, i think the 1.1 and vtr springs are different, u can get 1.1 50mm springs for about £50, do u know if u have to alter anything else before lowering?

   and yea.....you can use vts and vtr springs just the lowering height will differ. It will more like to 35-40mm as the vtr and vts engines are heavier that a 1.1. Just look around for some 1.1 etc lowering springs if you want it spot on . There are loads on ebay with Spax etc

   hmm yea wudda thought arch work would definately be needed mate. Personally i wouldnt lower at all with 16's however if you had 15's i would lower 40mm. 60mm will be too low with 16's for sure if you get 1.1 springs and you will get alot of rubbing with the 16's.

   even with 50-60 you will get rubbing mate. I would stick with standard height if you dont want arch work done.

    I had 60mm on the front and 80mm on the rear of my old saxo on 15s
    
    With some minor arch work (15 mins) with a grinder it was sorted :-)
