if you lower to scene proportions make sure you get them with springs suited to scene lowering or they will be very bouncey and awful ride.

they have springs yes but they are around the shocker instead of seperate. If you want to slam it get the correct shorter springs or it will be awful to drive.

I would think a one with a wider spaced coil so when you lower it down further you still have travel without it going coil bound.

best thing to do would be to ring gaz and ask what they recommend.

Having a lowered car will get a shitty ride no matter what you really go for kev especially going low low tbh.

Starting to get sick of my ride tbh now

might just fit the b10 springs so it sits like this
