my Saff has 25m lowered PI springs on it and Konis adjustable shocks set in the middle setting all round and doesn't scrap at all it's NORNALLY 5 up most of the time as well, I MUST admit it did take me 3 different types of makers of springs ie Spax and Eibach were too low @ 25m to get where I am now,and have been on the car now for 8 years and still going strong
THATS THE RIDE HIEGHT IN MY SIG below if that helps 17" wheels and they are just under the arches

get some new springs as your old ones are probably no good anymore , do you know how old they are??
chassis dynamics work well on road going cossies with konis and are quite cheap

Agree with you, Swerv - had Eibach -20mm lowering springs on the back of my Saff - it really was too low, swapped for a new set of Chassis Dynamics -25mm - ride height now is far better - helps to get rid of excess neg.camber too. Off the car the older springs were even physically taller, just shows how much they can sag/get weak with age.
