Do they make a 60mm Spax PSX kit for the 6n2?

as far as I can see, Spax specify the lowering of the PSX kit for the Gti as 30mm. See the following pdf file from the Spax website:

http://www.spax.co.uk/downloads/KitsDam ... f/kits.pdf

Have you got a link to the thread recommending the kit, as I am also looking for a good 60/60 suspension kit (not coilovers).

Are you sure it wasn't the RSX kit i.e coilovers?

I do like the sound of the SPAX adjustable dampers, as they do not need to be removed from the car to be adjusted, unlike the Koni's (at the rear)as they are adjusted at the bottom of the damper, as opposed to at the top with the Koni's:
How do I adjust my rear telescopic dampers?
There is a knob or a screwdriver adjustment at the bottom of each damper. If you turn the adjuster fully anticlockwise it will be on the lowest setting, then turn the adjuster clockwise - On our newer dampers there will be 28 points of adjustment and on our older dampers 14. You need to count the clicks, as once the maximum damping has been reached, the adjuster will keep turning. Always adjust both dampers an equal number of clicks."

I am sure they are a good choice.

Do you have plans to to get them fitted soon after receiving them? I would like a review compared to OE if possible (and plenty of before/after pics of course ;)).

i have the Spax RSX coilover kit if thats any help
lowers upto -75mm and its shocking ride quality lol
feel every bump in the road!

but now spax have changed their dampers, using krypton gas now instead of some toot they filled the old ones with! so they are probably a whole lot better.

It is going to look extremely sweet on the RX's. They are my favourite wheel, but I just can't warrant the extra expense of 16's. If I buy replacement 15's, I just need to swap the tyres over. Plus it'll look a little bit lower on 15's than 16's at -60mm.

Can't wait to see the pics, i'm sure you can't wait either !
