Jen Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 you can get them i was looking into it but its strongly recommended you change the shocks as well i think as the standard ones cant take it very well. thats why most people opt for coilies if they want to go that low and lower. i think anywayJen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Litre Screamer Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 dropping 60mm on standard dampers will cause the pistons to bottom out in the casing, instant failure. i would go for either coilovers or the cheaper but still the 60mm drop full shortened damper/spring kit, that way you know the dampers wont cause any problems.
