Highly unlikely I know, but they don't do a full kit for a CQ still do they?
So i should find some lowering springs from boge then?

Can be set up to match any uprated spring you decide to use...
I have tried numerous combinations over the 18 years I have had my car and the present set up is by far the best.
How many mm was the drop with the H&R 's ? just wondering if that might have had something to do with it?

Or. Are there any 35-40mm lowered springs, but with a 'lesser' amount of stiffening than H&R? would that help cure the problem that 20vcqdriver had with this set up, perhaps?

All very differing opinions. Basically i want it lower because CQ's look ridicules at the front IMO, but without making the handling worse, And I would like to keep these Boge shocks if possible., . It seems very waist full to junk them.
