need a little advice

[Ric 16v]

I'v currently got -60mm shocks and springs and I'v seen u can get custom springs from coilsprings www.coilsprings.co.uk and want to know if I could drop the rear about 70-80mm, would I need custom shocks or would it be ok if I used my 60mm shocks ???? cheers

why not just let your tyres down a bit, because I would imagine it would have a similar effect on your handling.
I think that lowering a car that much on the road will cause you a lot of problems ie grounding, knocking off your exhaust, rough ride.
You wouldn't get away with it in the midlands cos the roads are awful round here. mine is lowered about 30mm and i've clouted quite a few things.

if it was drop a bit further i would imagian you shock wuld b fine,
as they r built with tolance.
HOWEVER,
the guy b4 has a far point,
80mm is alot. and will probley look shit aswell unless ya got the right arch mods and wheels,
personnal dont even go there,but if its wot u want...........then.............hmmmmmmmm yeh ur shocks shuld b finethe ride gonna b harsh tho,save on a virbrator tho,(sick sence of humor )
