Lowering springs help

Hi,
Help needed!

Found some front lowering springs and shocks for sale it does not say what size the springs are or if the struts are shorter. all i know is that the person selling said the springs are about 22cms.

i bought a set of 60mm lowering springs and the only have standard shocks, but i need smaller shocks.

Does anyone know what size the springs are and if the struts are shorter than standard and will work better with my 60mm springs?

If any one could help it would be Brill
Cheers,
Laura

If they are cheap enough it's worth a stab at them, personally though I'm not a fan of second hand springs and shocks, if your going for budget though then get them, just make sure shows not leaking.

What are you doing fr back end? Because if you drop front it will look weird not dropping back.

Dropping back too much has its own problems I.e exhaust + speed bumps = more money lol

I got coil overs and love them but you gotta go slow over bumps and people do get annoyed lol

Heya, many thanks for your replys, i decided to get them! £35 pound! abit steep for my liking but i needed some.

I already have the rear lowered 60 mm
I have the front 60mm springs but only have standard shocks,and the springs moved around so i desided to buy the ones in the picture.

they arrived today but am still unsure what size they are untill i get them on, so fingers crossed!
but many thanks for your replys guys i shall post a picture when its all done!
