Saxo VTS Lowering
Just before I go to bed, thought I'd post about my Saxo.
I'm thinking of lowering it, it's on standard 15 inch wheels which I'm going to keep cos I love 'em, but I'll probably get them refurbed, but just wondering how much you reckon I should lower it by?
I want to be able to carry rear passengers, but I want it lowering considerably! I have seen springs for the front ranging from 25mm drop to 60mm, but I can't decide. Once I've got these sorted I can then sort the torsion bar out myself so it looks right. Ideas?
Cheers
Willo

Id say a 20-30mm drop on fairly stiff springs, to reduce body roll... and id probably buy either H+R's or Eibach's.... and to be perfect some billies to go with
I wish i had brough stiffer springs actually :o
Or you could slam it 60mm on standard dampers init

I wouldn't recommend anything over 30mm to be quite honest. It's your own preference though mate 
I have 16's and mine's dropped 55-60mm on SPAX adjustables and they are awesome. You can adjust how hard or soft the suspension is and i can carry 3 fat b**tards in the car with no problems at all.

Decided on 50mm in the end, he's not rang me yet so I can order them, he'll probably be ringing me at some point next week.
