60mm will be fine, you only start getting into trouble when you go lower

yeah, 60mm all round will be fine. obv you wont be able to go fast over them but you wont scrape or damage anything. iam down 90mm on the back on 15s and mine only scrapes the midde box on certain speedbumps so you wil be fine

So i decided to paint the springs as they were looking abit worse for wear.
They probably look even worse now, but oh well!
1st is wire brushed them Before(left) During(right)
Then sprayed them
Next up the shocks
I didnt know how to take the springs off and couldnt be arsed trying, so i just painted them (during)
Have given them 3 coats each, so will put more pics up when i fit them sometime
