i no there is like 3 different ones. i think mines 54mm. i did measure it it seems 54 but sometimes seemed 52mm. its definatly not 56 i dont think.

I wouldn't buy any Gaz or Spax stuff they are all rubish in mine and others on the forums opinion.

if you want 60mm get coilovers you can go lower than 60mm for a start. AT the end of the day 60mm springs don't often lower a car 60mm all round I had 60mm Spax coilovers setup as low as they would and it was about 40mm drop front and 60 back and it was lower than other 60mm owners who just had springs. the only excuse I can think of is my car was already quite low so I might have been 20mm lower than standard already.

Adjustbale stuff from Koni, Bilstein, Spax, Apex (I think do a kit)
