Just fitted 35mm rear springs to my Nova...

Are my rear springs guna fall out?

Becuase theya re shorter they wont be as compressed so much so more likely to fall out?

ive heard LOADS of nightmare stories about lowering your car just on springs. mine is lowered 60mm on springs and although i can feel every bump in the road i have never had a problem with them and they have been on nearly 2 years now

35 springs unlikely to fall out...
-60 more chance- but only when the rear is jacked up and beam is hanging or you go over one muthafunkster of a bump

They fall out because the springs are shorter but the shocks are not.
Fit uprated shorter shocks and they probably wont fall out...

MOT failure btw....

zip tie them on to make sure you dont actually lose one or both
