Hey i just orderd some 60mm lowering springs and was wondering if anyone has any pics of wat sort of drop they have , o and would my standard steelies rub lol 
Currently reading:

Yes probably rub over bumps, a correct tyre and spacer setup will sort this

ok.... i aint got many speed bumbs round my area so its ok lol but i just dont reli want it rubbing while on the move , i aint got no back seats so no passangers thats y i thought 60mm where ok part from speed bumps lolif its on steelies, then its an s/sx.. then a 60mm drop is a 40mm drop on a sporting, so not *that* low
tyres may rub depending on profiles.
get yourself an anti roll bar.

Should be OK. As the man said, get yourself an anti roll bar and beware of the back roads in the South Hams!
im in the same boat as you mate. i need to find the right tyres. prob end up experimenting for a bit.
Pretty much all in the FAQ lovingly assembled by custard.
bin through them. my troubles are arrising from my car being lowered about 50-55mm ish. lol. so i dont know what will scruba nd what wont. i need to find out if the scrubbage i get on full lock is from the sides of my tyres or from above. if its above i should be sorted as all the tyre sizes i have to choose from have a smaller side wall. but if its from the sides. will ahve to play around with spacers.
on a 50mm drop on a sporting(70mm on a 899) i have never had a problem with 175/50/13 tyres

my springs are hopfully coming monday or tue so i will have to get some pics up when i have fitted them Then i will find out if they rub , hopfully not
Then i will find out if they rub , hopfully noti'll tried to lower my car today by 50mm (on sporting shock ), which is not do able at all ... as after the top mount been fitted , there are no compressions on the springs at all .. (if u still put it on, the springs can just out of place ~~)!)
so i recommended getting some uprated shock

do you mean your shocks never acctually compressed the springs
or u mean somthing else m8 , soz your writing is hard to understand think he means the standard shocks are too long, i run a 60/40mm drop on my sporting (so thats 80/60 on an s / sx), but have uprated, shortened dampers/shocks to suit.

Sorry, typed that in a moment of rage and rush. Yeah the piston is too long, so there are no tensions between the spring and the top mount. Get some proper shock before lowering it
Hope that's more clear

it is always best if you are getting springs over 40mm drop to get the dampers to suit.
Yes , as my springs is 40mm or 50mm i (think) , i can put the spring on then the top mount with out compressingthe springs ~~~ piston just way too long
