well i've my furio for a year now and since then i have had to have a new strut wishbone droplinks driveshaft, because the owner before must have had a bump in it but it had not shown up in the hpi check, im wanting to lower it 40mm all round, but im afraid to, i mean it could disturb the problem again, dont know what to do.

presuming the repairs have been made to a decent standard and the car is straight then there shouldn't be any reason why some lowering springs would cause a problem

yeah the car is straight, i get a few little clunks now and then but i think that comes with every saxo.

Be very careful where you get it lowered as i took mine to a citreon specialist & paid £165 to have mine lowered and its on a slant, 1 side is lower than the other by quite a bit, its really noticeable :(

40mm is a mixture of handling and looks.
50mm is just for looks as the handling isnt as good
