Hi mate its a 2.0 16 converted car not sure on the poundage but will ask about on here.

Its lowered 35mm but the springs are too soft and catch the wheels so i would like to keep the same drop tbh

I can do any spring at any weight , i usually uprate the design of the spring so its about 50% stronger than a standard lowering spring, i have done this on my old xe.

custom springs have different prices depending on what size , poundage and lowering.

I can do uprated front springs at 60mm , uprated 50% £54 for a pair .

I can design them for you or you could say :
7 inch free length
7 coils
250lbs per inch
and we can make them to spec
