sorry sorry, i couldn't find this thread, so couldn't comment, was gonna pm ya but n/m
Yup yup they fit fine
Plus side: and not too bumpy, looks great and handle much much better
Down side: even tho the piston are shorter, spring rate is still different
I would still get a full kit and i seen apex kit shock and spring for 220 quid ('ll try to find the wbesite)
Hope it helps!

Don't ~~ I couldn't even do it with 50mm ....
The piston is just way too long, and the top mount just won't hold the spring in place at all..

well seeing my shocks are off and in work now i might aswell try cuz i aint got the money for new ones yet , at least it aint a big job
plus car aint running properlly at the moment so there is no rush .
Half-a-job.....if you havent got the money then dont start modifying things, it'll all go wrong and turn out nasty

just messured my springs and in cm they are 24/25 uprated and my standards compressed are 24/25 so yeh looks like i will be getting new uprated ones
60 mm ... is actually really low i am on 50mm i think, what brand of spring you got ? Best to get some matching shocks with them ... I got FK spring, but the shock are way out my budget so i got those on e-bay.

is the sei sporting already lowered 20mm compared to the standard?
if so, if i buy 60mm lowering springs... will it only be 40mm lower?
cheers

Yes, although I've seen various quotes on that 15-20mm. If you buy -60 springs for the Sei they should give a Sporting a -40 drop. If they're listed as Sei Sport lowering springs then they should give a -60 drop.
