Coupe springs are shorter to begin with, and probably a bit stiffer too. The Coupe sits a fair bit closer to the ground than the saloon/estate even from the factory.

No idea about the actual measurements though.

I am thinking about lowering the Coupe a little bit (no more than 25mm) but will only do that if it looks like the stock springs and shocks are on their way out. Got a fair few other things I need/want to do to the beast first.

if your spending 130 on springs would you be just as well buying coilovers from ebay? £160 then you can adjust to whatever height you instead of being bound to 30mm or whatever height u buy
