Thinking of having it done next weeks some time. Can't really afford new shocks at the moment. How about 40mm springs? what would it be like then?

any springs other than the standard one to go with ure standard shocks will put more strain on than were designed to

u never know ure shocks may be on their last legs already and the new springs may quicken the road to knackerdness

i fitted coilovers to my car 6 months ago and have recently learnt the hard way id of been as well fitting poly bushes as my bump stops are now knackerd and banging to buggery
