Hello
I'm hoping to lower my standard vtr on an 02 plate this weekend, I've got a pair of 60mm drop springs. What's a good match for a 60mm to the back? Few people have said 60mm and 95mm ? Any news I've attached a photo I think.....
Cheers
Tom

No body on a " saxo forum " can give some ideas. Awesome.

Picture didn't load for me.
60mm drop is a lot on standard shocks. As for the rear, you don't want to go lower than the front.

the rear is 10mm higher from factory as std.
personally i've gone 50mm apex shocks and springs and 45 ish on the rear on once again apex shocks. give the nice even arch gap that i like, not a fan of the rear wheel dissappering within the arch and the front having an inch or so between the top of the tyre and the arch.

As the guys have said above, you don't want to go too low with standard shocks on the rear. Get yourself a guide off here via the 'search' facility for lowering

on them tyres i would only go 60mm, otherwise it might rub abit. Unless you cut the lip off the arches then go 95mm but thats quite a big drop.

I'd just go 50mm all round. Much easier.
I can do the lowering for you, and supply 50mm springs.

Do you mean 60mm front and 45mm rear ?
