From personal oppinion what spring lowers the car more?

Ive currently got gmax -40mm springs all round, the rear sits where i want it to, but the front sits too high, because the 1.0 engine doesnt weigh bugger all, so want to drop the front some more.

Ive ordered a spax -50mm spring kit as thats the lowest they list without buying shocks as well, so what i want to know is does spax lower the car more then gmax...or will my -50mm spax springs look the same as the ones on the car, as different kits offer different heights, despite what they claim...

pics would also be good please of a car with a 50mm spax front drop (or 40 if it looks low)

Thanks

why dont you just shorten the front springs??

all you do is get spring compressors and compress them a little (10mm) then get thick cable ties to hold them in the compressed state.

the fella i bought my springs of when i had my corsa had done this

Thats ok until one side breaks and your left with a car leaning to one side and handling like shit. Wouldn't trust that if driving hard.
