Default Whats the best lowering springs for saff 4x4 on escos rims??

as above really,got some koni suspension for my cos but havent got any springs with it ,just wondering what is the best springs for it and how low to go.front looks ok but the rear look like a drag car at the moment so need to drop it a bit,was think maybe 25 30 mm on rear and 20mm on front,what the best compromise so it sits right but doesnt rub on arches under load

thanks again guys and girls

Rick.

I wouldn't drop it at all, just use some std ride height AVO/Chassis Dynamics springs, saying that they do drop about 3/4" still.

Seconded. £160, Ahmed will only go to 10mm lower as it will effect the MOT otherwise. Available in fast road and track spec.
