ive got new konis on my saph with -25mm springs on it the front sits fine but the rear needs bringing down a little more is there anywhere that i could buy a pair of rear -40mm springs from as im sure thats the lowest you can go on konis without shafting them

Lowering the rear of a Cossie too much makes it handle like a sack of shit
. To aid turn in etc, the front SHOULD be slightly lower than the rear. Also you will get excessive tyre wear by lowering the rear too much due to the camber / squat problems with the rear beam. I would advise leaving well alone and keeping as it is.
However, if you are of a certain Max Power ilk - then "slam it man, it's proper bo then innit"

Mike's talking sense!
Mine handled ok @ -40mm but scraped it's arse everywhere, I could not carry four adults and ripped the inside out of rear tyres.
Too low for a cossie.
