Drop the front more

thort of that but 60mm drop on the front would look mint but iv got killer speed bumps by me and i have to go super slow with a 40mm drop

was thinking spring spacers/ bumpstops what you lot think??

um less any one has a set of front springs with a 60mm drop that thay want to give me

Sounds like you have the wrong front springs fitted.

the car shuld be lowerd 40mm all round i got new front struts for a deasle mk3 that makes the handeling amszing never had anything respond so well  but the back are used of a git still still but used can i put the standerd springs back on the back??

or will it handle loke sh!t??

[Wayne]

What engine is you car, if it is a GTI then diesel springs will be no good due to engine weight.

1.6 8v  can I put standees springs back on the back with 40mm drop in the front??

[thai-wronghorse]

Well there's your problem, wrong spring rate. Diesel engines are quite a bit heavier than 1.6 petrol ones.

[thai-wronghorse]

Either source the correct springs or at least stick some lowering spring caps on the front. If you're lucky you might get another 10mm drop. I wouldn't put the standard rear springs back on though as it'll look like a hot rod and handle sh!t.

Will thay get softer over time just only cost me £10.50 for bilstine ftruts and the handling as good
