You might have to buy them in pairs as I am sure you can get just fronts or backs.

CAn you not just buy a set of 40mm all round and chuck a few paving slabs in the boot be cheaper. ;D ;D ;D

60mm is a lot though think most 'kits' are about 30-40mm drop only :-/

I looked for this set-up when I wanted to lower my car, but couldn't find any supplier in the is country that did the 60/40mm.

Think you may have to look for on some German sites, as they seem to be well into lowering their cars using the standard suppension looking platforms, but using lowing springs.
If you don't want to spend mega money, then think one option would be on the German ebay site, as they may have what your looking for, but how many will deliver to the UK without being mega money is another thing chap ?  :-?

Though if you want to go lower than 40mm, you'll definately need to change the shocks to.

I don't know anyone on here that has manage to get an equal measurement front & rear, without going the coil-over path (now I've said this, there's bound to be loads of people saying I've done it  ::) ).
