My 80mm fronts and 100mm rears inc shocks.

Sounds daft but I had no idea the rear springs would be so small!

Everyone at work said exactly the same, 'What the fuck are they!?'

Dont forget to use some thick strong cable ties through the beam and around the bottom of the spring to stop them falling out if you go over a big bump fast.

Screw that knowing they might fall out if you go over a bump too quick! Or will the shortened shocks be good on 100mm springs?

If you hear about a black Corsa disappearing over a hedge, then shortened dampers weren't up to the job.

Mine used to fall out all the time, did my tits in, ended up using cable ties

Also you need to clean your keyboard, state of that is vile.

They look the same as everyone else with 100mm springs so im sure they're safe enough, however i would definetly cable tie the bottom of them down. I did this with mine for years and it made things easier whilst jacking the car up.
