Lowering...

Post by seanalderson2 »

I am despirate to lower my corsa but have insufficent funds to buy new shocks for the springs. Would i be able to buy some Jamex 40 maybe 60mm springs and fit them to my current shocks?
Thanks

Have you got a picture of it lowered 35mm ? Would 60mm be too much on standard shocks?
