All the suspension people and tuning mags like maxy p say that u shouldn't lower ur car on standard shocks by more than 35mm. It probably would work on uprated/shortened shocks, but the standard ones weren't designed for this really. The springs are way to short and going over a large bump could cause them to pop out! then u'd be fu(ked when u find u've lowered ur car somewhat more than 60mm!!!!

Suspension kits aren't that expensive anymore and for the amount u'd pay to put springs on ur car, and then have them removed in 3 months when the shocks are ruined and have to get a new set of shocks anyway, u may as well do it right first time round get matched shocks and springs, fitted all at once.

As i said if u do decide to go for just springs then don't go over 35mm. these will be fine as long as ur current shocks have done under 30k
