I have a vx wagon, Lowered with king springs in front sits nice.

Rear has king springs but it sits rather high.

Im wanting to lower it alot so the wheels tucks up the rear arche's.

Can i get a shorter shock out of another car that people know off?

Also i heard bmw rear springs will lower it alot?

Any shed some light or info you may have?

Thanks in advance.

are you running stock shocks at the moment? and yeah bmw springs will sit lower, but i wouldn't recommend going to low on stock shocks.

but you can get shorted shocks and chuck ssl lows in the rear and will sit even at a nice height.

yup stock shocks, they buggered i think.

Basically im wanting to go as low as i can, Ive cut down the rear bump stop's slightly already.

The car come with what i beleive a standard rear spring cut in half which i beleive was in it. So i fitted that to get an idea and it sits at the height i like BUT its not a nice ride nor captive or safe idea.

But that's the height im aiming for if that make's sense :)
