How low on standard shocks?

[TheCrimson]

The guy I bought my 306 dt from bought a set of lowering springs that he never got around to fitting so has offered them to me.
He thinks they are 50-60mm drop (he cant remember)

My question is, will these be OK on standard shocks?

[Dan!]

It will put more stress on the shocks than standard ride height, obviously. But I doubt 60mm would kill them in any short amount of time. If they blew soon after fitting 60mm springs then imo they would have gone soon anyway.

BearBen has his HDI on 60mm springs on standard shocks and he must have had it like that for over a year now! You should be fine!

Awesome. Some cars I've had people say not to go beyond a certain drop on standard shocks.

Does anyone have a pic of a 306 with a 60mm drop? I had a mk4 astra before on a 40mm drop that didn't notice that much unless it was by a standard height one...

Had mine down on 80/90mm springs for bout a year was fine
