Lowering, Help!
I'm looking to get my 1.1i saxo lowered really soon, within this month preferably, and have a few questions for it.
I live in bournemouth (down south), is there anyone local who would be able to lower it for me? (Mainly worried about torsion bar can do fronts myself)
And what would be a suitable height to lower it? I want it too look smart with the standard steelies (gettin them colour coded to car for temporary) and be reasonably comfortable. I was thinking 50 back 40 front? Any suggestions?
Also, I don't have a clue where to get decent front springs from, does anybody know anyone who's selling any?
Let me know,
Cheers! D

Would 50 on the back not make it too uncomfortable? And how about clearance from bumps? Ill message him tomorrow when I'm on a computer, really would like some front ones for under £50!

Also, with people in the back, what's a sensible hieght to lower it without rubbing. E.g. Withh 50mm on the back, will I be able to have more than 2 people sitting in the back? Cheers, D
