they will last for ages just the ride will be bouncy and only get worse over time, not good on corners unless road is completely flat

I got -40mm on standards and its better than it was and ride is ok but a bit bouncy..if your goin -60mm I would up-rate bushes & dampers.. power-flex kits are good for bushes, etc !!

well my mate drove round on -50mm springs on a clio and they lasted 2 3months. dangerous ride too, it used to throw you all over the place on bumpy roads. IMO i'd rather spend bit extra on shocks and get good ride and good looks.
