Is there any company's who manufacture 70 mm lowering springs for the

saxo without having to buy a coilover set up?

if you spec them right they can lower whatever amount you want. linear springs are about £100 and to get 70mm down they would have to be short and soft which requires shortened dampers but also they will be too soft to soak up the road surface with the small amount of travel left so won't work that well on road. I can spec some progressive ones for you but you are looking at £150+

70mm drop on standard dampers isn't a good idea either.

While i hate to recommend bad products you'd be better with a cheap set of coilovers - even though the quality of the ride won't be all that.

I know thats why i suggested them.
There isnt a viable reason a sane person would wanna be down 70mm

I just kind of like the idea of being extra low lol, i have uprated dampers

This is my ride height now, i know its not on a level surface but you get

the idea- 60mm
