Anyone used these with lowering springs?

Thinking of replacing my jamex shockers for them to go with the -60mm springs i have.These are not the the OEM replacement shockers these have a rebound setting increased by 20%.

Same ones as i've recently removed from mine - they were alright, but not really suited for what i wanted.

Be fine for something you were only going to use on the road though.

Be careful fitting the 60mm springs, you may find that they are not long enough to even sit correctly in the shock unless it is compressed.

Ahh i see what you mean with them not being shortened shocks will cause the spring to be more compressed.

Any other options of shockers to go for?

Dont wanna spend a fortune because iv been there done that and theres very little difference plus i had 3 rear Bilstein B10 shockers go faulty on me.

I think they are for 40mm max.

I maybe wrong but the 40mm fit fine, wheras the 60mm didnt.

The usual suspects really, gaz, spax etc. I went for AP coilovers and they are excellent, I would definately recommend them, but they are a little more pricey than a fixed kit.

not to be rude but where does this word "shockers" come from.

its longer than saying "shocks" which is shortened version of shock absorbers
