I have this kit or its predecessor:

Car is lowered 40mm all round but I want to drop her a wee bit more. Can I change the springs on these struts to say 60mm or would I need a new kit altogether?

Cheers

best check with spax tec line as i have the spax shocks but they only go to 40mm drop and for a 60 you need shorter rods in the shock(front, dont know about rear).
i found this out yesterday so my car is off the road for another week waiting for new inserts!!! :cry:
