I seem to remember fitting 40mm lowering springs in the past and they looked good and the car certainly handled better along with a stiffer front ARB, but I see 60 and even 100mm lowering springs available now. I don't want to make the car look like it has been 'bagged' or 'slammed' (?) and I don't want to grind the exhaust on traffic speed bumps if at all possible but I might want to go lower so has anyone got photos of their 1800 and comments on their experiences driving them after lowering?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gordon

Agree with 142 Guy
I have -40 springs on my wagon and I’m just waiting for the -20 springs to come from Amazon cars, at -40 the panhard rod is ok but the car bottoms out on the rear axle and I think the ride quality has suffered
