60mm for a Ford Escort ?????

what the hell ..... i was told for my e30 ... the rear springs that came in the set i am using .. i thought they were 40mm ....

i have two brand new front jamex springs in red for my e30 bmw ... with the number 100025 written on them .. no other markings ... how can i tell what lowering springs they are ??? i.e 60mm drop or 40mm drop or 30mm ones ... this would be of great help
thanks guys

has any one used Kayaba - KYB shocks on their e30?? ... are they any good? .. im looking at the KYB Ultra SR or the KYB Gas-A-Just for the rear. cheers guys (p.s my convertible has been dropped 40mm)

cheers guys ... will check them out .... does any one know someone who would want to swop some used 60mm rear springs for 30mm

in the south area

can any one suggest a good set of rear shocks(at a good price) for my e30 convertible ... it has been lowered 40mm. i dont mind the hard-ness of the ride as long as they are nice and strong.
thanks
