Hi all, newby here wants to know if i drop my Tib down say 30 mm would i have to shorten the struts or is there a tolarence which will let me do this without shortening them, also i think i have an idea on how to remove the springs but not exactly sure so hoping that some one could give me some advice on how to do it, i know i could take it to a garage for this but i'm not made of money, this is my first project so please take it easy with me and try not to be to technical otherwise my head will explode.

Please do some searching, there are TONS of threads on the same subject.

The standard drop on most aftermarket springs are 32MM, so no, you dn't need shorter struts.

Also, don't post the same thread in multiple subforums.
