A (very) quick and easy search for "60mm" in the 'photo gallery' forum brought up over 90 threads with matches - try that! :idea:

Don't do it - its a bad idea! I had -60mm springs and it will turn you car into a right sump-muncher! :eek:

If they're new springs they will get lower over time as they settle

Some 60mm springs do seem to sit higher than others :mad: I used to have Apex and that did sit low I'm now on K/W and it sits a little higher but the ride quality is sublime. I've only come across 1 speed bump I can't go over but even in a normal car it feels like your going over a mini hump back bridge :eek:

As datourer stated they will settle a bit, mine haven't moved yet and I've done approx 3000 miles since fitting them.

Goldenarms what springs/shocks have you used?
