No mate.
Op 40mm will be fine, few people run 60mm on them.

god knows, unless you can test it properly with doing the same corners at same speed in same conditions you'll never really know for sure.
Seemed alright though, got me round Silverstone & Rockingham lol :y:

I would say 30mm, no more.
Lowered cars ( on standard suspension ) handle like shit.

to cut costs, springs should be fine, if handling isnt your top priority (on a road car for example)
