Why would you do that to yourself ?? Get coilovers and 60 will be close to floor good luck with speed bumps..

Wind it down,i run around 75-80mm drop and manage to cope with everyday driving,adjustable damping does help though.

Im already on coil-overs! Dont want to loose the looks, so thinking STD shocks with 60mm springs will bring it close to where i am now.

i run Audi R8 rep wheels (the real ones are 295/30/19 and they may not fit as well....) on coil overs, 16mm spacers on rear and 5mm on front.  and the ride is pretty solid. but doesnt have any real scrubbing.

so if I can stay around the similar height, but gain abit more cushioning under my bum that would be great.

so anybody with a pic? cheers.

standard shocks wouldnt last long at that kind of drop and you would get no extra comfort from what youve got now, your best off going for a coilover setup with adjustable damping, quite pricey but cheaper than having to keep paying for dampers.

or an air ride kit!!!!!  :cool:
