no cos u just use sikoflex to bond arches back on, lowering more than 40mm puts to much strain on standard shocks ride will be horrible isnt great with just lowered springs anyway but 40mm is barable, best of getting full kit mate honestly will get one cheap on here, a second hand one

springs on std shocks will drive crap, and wear out the shocks pronto.

Cheapest to buy a full kit and have it all fitted in 1 go, kits are £180 upwards

in a nut shell.
just hold out n wait for a second hand kit will get one for around £150 mine was £230 brand new only gmax 60mm n its great for the money.

springs will set u back around £80 so worth it just to save up little bit more
