Your always so right ain't you

[scott.parker]

well the risk with chopped springs is they don't sit in the seats, so there's a chance they come out, assuming yours were coilovers? so you probably could have wound the spring off the shock if you tried. Anyway, like I said, I'm guessing Scotts sit better than standard tbh as they never seem to bother winding aftermarket springs flat

Nope not coilovers, and yeah they probably do sit wrong, but it makes it lower

[scott.parker]

So..

Here's what's happened.





Then after chopping some 60mm springs I hot some proper ones about 80mm.
Here's the bodged ones for you who asked before.





And new.

Difference is the new ones are harder shake **** out of you

And on

Now.. The debate I'm having with my self is..

Do I go lower on the front the down pipe and sump are about 3-4'' from the ground, I can go 25mm more but would only go say 5-8mm lower.
