Its on an S2 i assume? If so then where the hub bolts to the damper, there is a certain amount of adjustability. If you need more movement than you can file out the holes in the damper until you get is right.

How low is the car?

I have only worn out 3 sets of back tyres since having my S2 and that's 10 years. Wish I could say the same about the front

60mm really is too much of a drop mate. You'd be far better off with a 30mm drop as well as stopping you killing tyres so quickly it will improve teh handling no end as well
