In an ideal world no. But in reality a lot of people run them with standard shocks. They are a bit bouncy like it though.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

IMO, don't do it. -40mm is as low as you want to go on standard shocks. I had -60mm on my DT, and it ended up really crashy and shit. If you're going -60mm, get uprated shocks.

The lowering spring need to match with the sporty shock absorber, But you can fit the lowering spring with standard shock in reality with a bit or much bumpy on bridge jumping, Speed breaker !
Some sport absorber can be eliminate that symptom.

Hey just wondering ive got 306 hdi meridian 5 door which is on standard coil springs and shockers, Wanted to lower the front end and wanted to know if 30mm gti spring would fit on and if they would make any difference, Ive heard they increase the height instead of lowering it...
