	Having decided to sell my golf you as it was modern and soulless I needed to get back into retro motoring whilst I finish the Cortina. So trawling Gumtree instead of working I found the perfect daily! It's an auto and amazingly comfortable! It's done 105k miles and has MOT till next September! I love it! I'll get some more photos when I've cleaned it but I'd like to lower it but can only find 40mm drop springs - any ideas?

	Nice 740! You have two options of how to lower it: 1 Cut the springs, they respond well as long as you don't go mad! Can drop the car around 60-70mm and they still ride ok. 2 Locate 240 front damper inserts and shorten your front damper tubes to suit, this will lower the front around 2" with std springs, then add your -40mm springs for comfortable low's. You will still have to chop the rears to suit though... Hope this helps.
