just wondering howmuch is your car lowered by and how well do you think it handles. im down 40mm on my 1.6s using spax springs and shocks but my drivers rear is a standard shock as the spax one was f**cked so ill have to sort that out
At least i dont drive a saxo!!

Now lowered 30mm and it's a million times better than when it was lowered 55mm. Only reason mine was droped that low was because I had the springs sat there in my spares bin. It's a mystery to me why people over slam their cars :-?

Yes, very bad, as it'll handle very poorly.
