lowering

[spotless grant]

need to lower my 172 (2002), have loads of options but don't know what to choose. lowering springs are available from my local store for £95 (40mm), ut would like 60mm lower, however don't want to have to change shocks, as i'm on a tight budget. can i buy 60mm springs and put them on? well get a mechanic to put them on! or am i better just sticking to 40s? help!!

I have 60mm springs all round, fitted them myself, it's not such a big job if I were closer I'd have gave you a had.
Only needed, jack, wheel wrench 21mm spanner,19mm spanner and 18mm spanner and spring compressors.

Took about 2 hours.

Don't know how much it'll damage the shocks though.

Entirely up to you, Most people on here would reccomened ebaich prolines or sportlines, have a search through the media section. You'd be better off getting a garage to fit them if you haven't got a spring compressor etc won't charge you much
