even 40mm is a bit much on just springs
any lower and you defo need shocks

You'll have to be prepared to say goodbye to your teeth if you go any lower that 40mm on standard shocks. You'll probably bugger your shocks before too long anyway, and have to put up with a shortened spine lowering that much on springs!

with everything i have done on cars i find the same always applies, ur always left wanting more! id say deck it with a 60mm drop, just save up for a suspension package and do it properly.

you will need shocks no matter how low you run! !!!

But if its lower than 30mm then I'd sugest uprated ones :bonkers:
