Hey Guys,
Just Checking So I don't go wrong heh,
A 40mm Drop on standard Dampers should be ok yes?
I believed that 40mm was really the limit you could do on standards before having to get New ones.

Just need to know if buying the 40mm Springs alone will be sufficient for me.

Cheers guys.

not really,its do-able but the damping will be allover the place

really bouncy and uncomfy,if your goin to do something,do it properly

atleast get a 40mm kit with uprated shocks AND springs,they go hand in hand...

it will be ok on standard shocks, make sure the springs are progressively wound tho so that there the same size as the standard springs but they still lower 40mm.

The ride will be very harsh and bouncy.

I'm not keen on pairing things up that aren't really meant to be. Get the full kit.

I've been in a corsa lowered around 50mm on standard shocks, the ride was shoot, really bouncy and all over the place. The bouncing didnt really stop that quickly after hitting a bump, where as uprated shocks and springs eliminate this.
