   Can someone upload some pictures of saxo lowered 60mm right round to give me an idea of what it will look like. On standard Vtr wheels if possible.
   
   Thanks

   You'll need new shortened shocks and springs.

   Mine is lowered 60mm front and 75mm back on all standard shocks, just new springs. i might invest in new rear shocks soon but at the moment its all running fine so yer you can lower your car 60mm on the front on standard shocks.

   dont lower 60 on standard shocks if you have to go that low
   
   it will feel like you have parkinsons when driving down the road

   My car is lowered 60mm and the rear and 60mm at the front. Have a look at my display pic. Don't go with standard shocks though! Very bad idea!
   
   Cheers

   60mm front 40mm rear (about 50 - 55mm though due to install weight)

    Can you still turn the wheels with the car down 60mm at the front and do you have to move the power steering pump or something?

    power steering pipe on mk2s usually needs bending away from the tracking/steering arm
    
    you wil find it will actually rub on standard suspension too, just lowering it (any height) will speed it up, citroen fooked up lol
    
    full lock will depend what wheels are on, mine doesnt rub at all

    Here's mine lowered 60mm front and rear. Had it done last week, looks sick, and this is my new car/project! Many plans for this to come!
