i'm not overly happy with how the rear of my car is sitting. would want it lower for the shows. would i be better off chucking some sand bags in the boot? or is it possible to buy 80mm springs? would they fuck up the shocks?

dont be gay it sits fine will look really wank if any lower.....

A touch lower if you must with some better 60mm spings or maybe some 60mm nova springs. Ride will be much harsher too

60mm nova springs will drop your car 75mm+ if you havnt got shortened shocks i wouldnt do this, you need shortened shocks for any drop over 40mm or it will handle terrible and bottom out the shocks

Mines 80mm at the back and the ride and handling are fine, no worse than when it was 60mm

Nova springs wont make it lower, just give a shit ride
