60 MM Springs

[WIGGY1]

Gonna be quick and blunt with this question.

I got 16" rims on my car and 40 mm springs. The 40s look crap so gonna drop it some more. I want the back wheels under the arches but ive seen some nice clios on here who have done theres 60mm and they dont look rite low on the back. Will 60mm springs do this or am I gonna have to get coilovers?

Cheers in advance

So no one has any advice on the springs then

Best to a serch over the last few pages of the forum there been loads of talk on them reciently.

You can drop 60 with springs alone (some people say 60 is the least you should go) but how long the shock last well. Should be good for 6months but some have lasted over 12 months without problems

Theres a few companies who do 60 springs pi is the one which crops to mind first.

If you wan to best drop have a look at Freds car 110 at the back and 100 at the front. Coilover for Ktec give upto a 80 drop have a look on the media section for some pics of RobFenns car. Dont forget the more miles and the longer you have them fitted the lower it will go due to wear and settling in.
