Post Lowered 60mm

My Mk2 VTR is currently lowered 60mm on standard shocks, i want to uprate the shocks to give a better ride quality, however the set im looking at says that it will require the redirection of powere steering feed pipe.
I cant see why it would if already lowered 60mm sureley its just a straight swap.
Anyone got any ideas?

i've heard this before when i was looking at springs and i think its the power steering pipe will be in the way of the new springs as they will sit out further than the original ones

Not springs he's looking for mate, shocks he said. Can't say I've ever heard of this problem either tbh

Don't you just have to move it if you lower it any amount either on springs or shocks

it wont be the spring or dampers that rub!

on some saxo's when lowered 60m the track arm will rub on the pass pipe leadin it to burst but as yours is already lowered the chances are you dont hav to worry but it'll be no harm it double checkin this!
