lowering springs...

I've finally got my celebrity back on the road and decided to put some 5 spoke alloys on it instead of the rusty steel rims. I think the gap between the wheel and arches is a little too much so I've been considering lowering it by 60 mm springs.
Can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of these springs? Will it make the ride hard? I'm not particularly after better performance with it only being a 1.3 auto.
Thanks

40mm is a good compromise, 60mm are hard but only if you live in pot hole central or you have a major back issue

Unfortunately I live in the countryside and our roads can be sh!te... I want the lowered look but don't want to compromise on comfort... Don't want much do I laughing

I got some new front springs for non GTE legs like yours. Not sure on the drop. I think 40-60mm. Brand new never fitted custon made Leda springs, £40. Can deliver to billing.
