Right, chopping standard springs = bad news. That's cool, by the sounds of it, will save me money in the long run after i've rolled round the next corner after the springs drop out the cup.

I own a little Mk4 Fiesta, i was told on the Mk4 forum that 60mm were the most common on mk4's, but when i looked at Demon-tweeks/Europerformance all 60mm had a warning about using a different type of Damper.
The next level down is 40mm, would these be okay? I'm not spending money on a coilover kit, as i wont be keeping this car for much more than a year.
