General lowering my punto mk1?

[fiatpunto55]

hi, i have 15inch alloys on my mk1 55 but it looks like it sits really high. i want to lower it 60mm at the front and 40mm at the rear.

can someone please tell me if these springs are ok for the money? i dont have alot of cash so just looking for something cheap that does the job. thanks.

If you are lowering by 60mm you will really need to change the shocks as well as the springs....otherwise the OE shocks won't last very long.

i have jamex springs on my car for a year, and i would recomend them without a doubt.
but 60mm drop on the front needs shortened shocks, or the originals will knacker easily, as said above.
i would buy them though. im pleased to see someone going for 40/60, mine looks completely standard at the front, and thats with 40/45 drop! should look good.

so i would need front shocks aswell? what shocks are best for the money? thanks

hmm... anything with a good brandname? make sure that they are designed to run with a drop of 60mm.
you COULD just run stock shocks, but they will knacker very quickly.

Abarelli breakers have a set of Gmax shockers and springs for £80. Looked about 2 years old.
Abarelli, look them at on Google. Ask for Tony say Dave sent you.
