Shorter springs but chances are the shocks will bottom out also you may need bump steer spacers as it will handle like cr@p

mate,
car looks very nice and clean!
Nice selection of rims.suit the era of car very well!
Some workshops do "compress" springs.Maybe could get one to do that just abit to get what your after.
just my opinion,but rear looks abit too low.'might' get issues with road legalities.

coilover springs come in several lengths. chances are if you go shorter you may also need a tender spring to keep it captive at full droop. As unfamilia said, make sure you check the travel on the shocks though. Bottom them out just once can be enough to stuff the foot valve in your expensive shocks...

Interesting

Has anyone else had this issue with this product?
I have a set of coil overs under my bed and also want to tuck in the wheels behind guards.

My mate was bored and drunk felt like cutting and welding and decided to modify struts for me.. Welded a threaded sleeve on my strut after cutting the original purch off and cut a pair of stanza springs then we installed them and wound them right the way down.. Still wasn't low enough so we got the oxy to the springs whilst compressed and this is the end product.. Bodgy as #OOPS# they're now living at the tip but here's a pic

looks like the first 1200 needs the front and rear springs swapped around!
