i had this done on one of my older corsas and i will never get it done tht low again.

the bang all depends on the bump and the tyres you have as tyres also help cushion the 'bang'.

i had mine lowered 60mm for about 12 months tops when things started goin, needed new track rod ends, ball joints etc.

if i was to lower mine 60mm again i would be buying the kit you can buy to lower the whole steering rack keeping everything lined as it should be.

Methinks 60mm is too low... (Saying that, i'm not a big fan of lowering...)

Make sure to post up some pics of it lowered, it may change my mind.... :lol:

Hmm suppose lowering springs will do as a short term thing. Looks good and will handle better.
Yeah mate will do
