I assume you mean your sri is on gsi wheels. On coilovers you will be able to go 80-90mm on the front and 100 mm or more on the back

you dont need springs in the back, remove them and cable tie the bottom of the spring seat to the top so it stops it bouncing and will pass mot, for the front jack it up and cut the springs with an angle grinder, keep doing this until the sump is on the floor then get some washers to lift up the egine on its mounts so it drives, job done

its called chassis knotching, and its perfectly fine if done properly..

planned to get it done on my mk1 as the chassis was sitting on the driveshafts..

but as said cant go wrong with a 60mm all round kit..
