40 mm lowering springs on my b4's, but cant find any 60mm without having custom ones made.
i just want the tyre to arch gap equal front to rear or slightly nose down.
its sitting arse heavy at the min.

ive been told i cant cut them because they are tappered at each end

I too personally wouldn't cut them either coil overs or custom made springs failing that get the front legs filled with lead

the front arch profile is different to the rear so if you get the gap equal it will be nose down, measure from the bottom of your sill front and rear to find how level it sits :B_thumb:
