They recommend to m8,a few have'nt and regretted it,i would fit the springs and see how the shocks cope.......

.........

get the springs first as the shock will be ok

then if its not low enough them get the shorten shocks

i lowered my car only a few weeks ago , standard shocks (exclusiv model) by 45mm no probs, good cross between more sporty handling and comfort, have lowered other cars with shocks and springs and its ok for a week or two but starts getting on yer nerves if its too hard,,,,

Which springs did you use?

I have an SRi that I would like to take about 30 mm out of the ride height.

i used cobra springs, seem good quality, and take the front end down too, unlike the eibach ones i have seen which lower the back but leave the front a bit high, have a look at my profile pic theres a pic side on of mee car , well pleased, was worried to start as most buy the eibachs but am well pleased i did now

Thanks Dave.

I'll look out for the Cobra springs. My estate needs loweing to compliment my wheels, and the ride height you have is what I am looking for.

Got any more pics?

Mine are on Flickr

Nice wheels

Seeing those pics just confirms that I like the ride height of your motor.

Seen Cobra springs at Europerformance. Is that where you got yours?
