Every now and then i have seen some 2.5" or 3" lower springs for sale on ebay, although would say they would need shorter shocks

i would also expect a drop that severe to play havoc with the suspension geometry, particularly the roll centre up front

also wreck driveshaft gaiters (speaking from experience ha) can't beat a 5 on its ass tho

someone does 60mm lowering springs,think it might be apex?

[SCHWARTZ]

-60mm ones I think are for the gtx which is higher so works out the same as -30mm iirc. Can ruin shocks being too low but you can get shortened ones.

apex do a yellow spring that is -50/60mm

Abp Motorsport minus 3 inch or 4 special order,use the minus 3 on my 5's past 10 yrs no wear issues etc,been on my 5 for 60'000 + with standard shocks work fine

60mm is what im after i think, i saw some 63mm ones on the bay, but they went, ive brought to new shocks this week and are in the post, just want some new springs to go in...

Note that a lot of springs don't drop the suspension by what they say. I remember buying some Chassis Dynamics -30mm for my first 5, and they lowered the car by approx' 2.716692844mm :crap:

The old AJ Tuning -50's used to drop by a lot. Certainly as much as I'd ever want to go (not that I'd ever stick very low springs on an old damper that's been running at stock height for god-knows how many miles :scared:)
