i know its ment to be stiffer suspension but fuck me its like a rock & it feels like its bouncing all over the place and its only lowerd by 40mm i think.. heres a pic of the springs & the shocks

this is the rear setup i have on my car now



and heres the differnce in the size of the springs



the shocks do have an adjuster thing at the bottom but cant see that making much of a difference

Any help will be apreachiated

Shocks could well be dead tbh. Risk you take when buying second hand to save few pennies
