Photo's of a nice early Amazon with 100mm lowering springs fitted. The owner is very happy with how they ahve worked





I am now having second thought about keeping my one at original ride height

Mine with the 60 drop, looks nice, but admittedly quite stiff for our more battered roads.

Do you mind if I use your photo on the webshop to show how they look with the springs fitted?

Looks lovely. I can't imagine that there's any spring travel left though, especially at the front..I regularly hit the bump stops with stiffer springs just 40mm lower. Pretty car though.

The bump stops do have to be shortened substantially, or replaced with a smaller nub.
