i would like to lower my standard 1.2 nova to make it look smarter. I decided to get a set of bog standard springs for about 50 quid (can anyone suggest any other alternatives. must be cheap(ish)) but i saw that some people just cut the orginal springs in half!! Can this be done? if so how much do they need to be cut and will the car still pass the MOT?

Thanks
Martin

You should be able to pick up a set of 30mm for about ?60. And if your only going to about 30mm you can keep your standard shocks.
