I have a 1.4 sport(1998) and just dropped a 1.6 sport engine into it due to some minor issues with the 1.4. Was wondering wen i come round to eventually lowering my car will i need to get srpings for the 1.4 sport or the 1.6 sport, evrything on the car bar the engine is standard 1.4 sport stuff as far as im aware

Cheers

tbh best saving up for a decent kit, you can lower with just springs but it will do no favours for ride quality or the longevity of your oe shocks
