lowered springs and shocks
« on: 14 January 2009, 21:50:30 »
I have just bought a set of springs for my omega http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270327583351

Will i be able to use the standard shocks (its a 40mm drop)  or will i need shorter shocks?  is i do what do you all recommend?

had a read
i think i will chance it with uprated springs (-40mm) and stock shocks  but will fit pollyurathene bumpstops just incase   unless anyone thinks its all a very bad idea?
