Hey again :homme:

Want to lower my vts 60mm,
I would like it to be level front and back.

I know the rear always sits lower so was just wondering what front springs would i need to match it front and rear around 60mm drop.

Thanks :y:

i dropped my vtr 60mm using apex 50mm springs on the front. I noticed with customers cars once they settle they always sit lower.

No prob's mate.

Is your rear beam shafted or do you just not want to replace the bearings?

Well the beam has mental ammount of play, no joke its mad.

After alot of reading it seems the pin would be shagged, i just want to put the beam on and forget tbh mate.

Saxos already eaten 3 said "good" ones already.

personally I would check the pins first could just be the bearing that's collapsed. but if you are going to go with the I'm beam pay for the grease nip's in the bearings its a no brainer also makes the beam serviceable.

i have the 50mm Apex Kit on mine fella and we did the rear 45mm so it sits level when you boot it however with sub in the back and general toot in the boot the rear sits a little lower and more 'in the arch' than the front, this is the springs and shocks kit though; your std shocks would be softer so may sit lower but i couldnt reccommend the kit more, the ride is spot on!

the rear is a bit higher as standard, so to keep it level, i'd lower the front and back the same distance if not, maybe 65mm back.
i dont think it looks good when the front is lower than the back on saxos, unless its slammed
