Are you wanting to lower it by 60mm? That is a lot and you would need to get the arches rolled if its on 17 inch wheels.

Hmmm

This may sound harsh but you will fuck it up..

Ford spent £££££££ in R and D for you to shag it up. - 25mm will be fine and use camber shims to counter act the lowering.

Leda have the pattern for the springs so they can manufacture springs to any ride height. Once again it'll ruin it going too low though

60 mm sounds a bit too low to me.
