Default Lowering?

my saph sits with its ass in the air and i really want it on its hoop. i cant afford to go and get coilies so i was thinkin just a spring kit for now. the only kits i can find only lower the car by -25mm. is there somewhere i can get a -60mm kit or even just -60mm for the rear??

mate imo anything lower that 25-30mm looks crap and your bumpwer wont last long...

Heres how mine used to look with a -30mm drop



and heres a front view to show that theres not much space left for lowering..
