Hi. Im planning in lowering my Arosa 60mm, can i get away with just springs ?? or am i going to need new shocks etc. Thanks

You can get away with just springs, but you'll get much longer life out of the shocks, and a better ride quality, if you buy a matched set of shocks too

Thanks .
Dunno if i will do it or not, just tidying it up a wee bit for selling it

You might be better off with coilovers if your wanting to lower it that much as there arent many shock and spring kits that go down that much for the Arosa. You will get more choice with coilovers. If your going to go with shocks/springs you get better value when you buy a kit. You also know then that way you have everything you need.

I'd be a bit careful if you are selling - slamming it 60mm will have a dramatic affect on the appearance which might restrict the market to which you can sell...

Just my tuppence of course.

Cheers,

60mm is not slamming , slamming is 100mm or more , in other words lower than my mates standards

Fair enough, should have said "lowering" rather than "slamming. Point stands though that any modification over stock that is noticable might put some people off. Selling a stock car is almost always easier than a modded one - in my experience.

ps. Love your Arosa 1litre wonder - very smart indeed.

Most suspension specialists will advise new shorter shocks if you go more than 30mm, as the stock shocks end up outside there normal working range. Probably best to go with coilovers, as GreenGoddess says...
