Why not simply cuts your current springs? Obviously you are not concerned with damaging the car's chassis, it's suspension components, or the possibility of losing control due to steering component failure, so please be somewhat considerate of public safety, and don't remove 98% of your cars suspension travel. Ever consider why you are having a hard time locating springs that offer such a tremendous drop? BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS AND THERE IS NO MARKET FOR SUCH A PRODUCT.

thanks for your opinion even though it wasn't asked for. my car is already lowered 50mm for over a year now and it drives fine with no damage to any suspension or steering components. no need to be a dick

Haha...That's great Jeff :)

Rory -- I'm not trying to be a dick here, but how on earth does the car not scrape when going over bumps? I ran the bavautos for a while and they were a nightmare with the utterly slammed front end. I have to agree with Peter on this one. Seems like a really big compromise.

The only time the car ever scrapes is going over huge bumps in like a car park or something. this has only ever happened to me once. an extra 20 mm on top of what i have isn't gonna bother me. the roads here are dead smooth and speed bumps are non existant. i want my wheel-arch gap to look like jeff's! anyway i don't want this to turn into a full on debate like most threads do.
