Anyone know whether or not a 60mm set of springs for a saloon 4 cyl will give the same ride height on a touring ?

Particularly at the front as my touring needs lowering at the front and so far I have not found a cheap set of 60mm springs for the estate, only for the saloon.

Thanks anyone who has info

This is what -35mm cab rear springs look like on my 325 tourer
Bear in mind that my boot is 1/2 full of amps/subs etc
On a std tourer it would sit a little higher

Nice,

That's about how my touring sits n 40mm springs, but it is always full with my painting and decorating gear. This is why I want to drop the front by another 20mm - to level it up

Best
