[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 58333, member: 126"] Dear Willie and Vanquish, If you want aftermarket spings that don't lower much, Dinan makes them. You get just enough lowering up front to banish the ugly fender gap (2 fingers opposed to 1 fist on ori) while the rear gets a 15mm drop. But gooooood luck trying to find it in Malaysia :P If you use original springs, your nose will be hanging way up high and your front fender gap will be ugly as grannies knickers!!! If you have an M20 engine which is lighter than the M50, expect your nose to be higher still! So the only way to handle it would be to cut 1 coil at the front and leave the rears alone. Cut springs will make your springs softer but hopefully the Bilstein shocks can compensate for it. I'll be trying it soon so i'll let you know once i've done it. ;) [/QUOTE]
