its really bumpy, like driving a go kart, also if the springs are loose wen jacked up it will fail MOT

depends how low - the usual consensus is u can get away with a 40mm drop on standard shocks without messing things up 2 much. it won't be as gd as gettin shortened shocks bt it won't really be dangerous - my m8s car went through 2 mots with this set up with no issues. if ur going lower than that tho ur defo gona need uprated shocks

yea you'l be fine using 40mm springs on standard shocks, any lower and your best of getting stiffer shocks aswell.

nah your ride will just be really soft and bouncy and obviously it will only make it appear lower the handling wont really be improved as thats all dependant on the shocks.
