i just ordered new apex springs after my 'coilovers' broke - i honestly have no idea how low the car was as it was a fresh buy but now im bricking it that -60mm might actually be too low.
im running 15" wheels on my saloon.

any thoughts - maybe photos of cars on -60mm?

cheers.

Standard 15" BBS wheels will fit no problem, but the car will be horrible to drive. I had -60mm springs on my cab when I bought it and they were swapped out for taller springs as the ride and handling were rubbish.

Damn - I might be looking for 40mm very soon then.
Are they hard to change myself? - dont really fancy paying fitting AGAIN!
