Default quick rs turbo spring question

i need rs turbo -60mm lowering srings for the rear of my escort mk4.
all i can find is -40mm.
there are loads of -60mm springs but they are not 60mm lower than the rs turbo height they are just 40mm lower.
can anyone tell me where i can get some 60's from please.
just the rears needed but i suppose i'll have to buy the whole kit.

my car is totally stripped out and is very light at the back, this has raised the car up 20mm, i want the car lowered back down again so i need 60mm lowering springs for the rs turbo.
i havnt even got a spoiler at the back so its light as fook.
if you have sounds in your car then your car will sit low

Pi did used to do 60mm. To be honest, every S2 sits differently. Mine is on -25mm and its very very low, i want to raise it to be honest. The mounts seem to have different tolerances.
