When fitting rear lowering springs...

[pbufton]

Do you guys leave out the rubber pads that come on the standard springs or fit them back in? In the middle of sticking a set of sportlines on my 182 and figured that if i leave the pads out i've get between 5-10mm lower on the rear.

thanks

i would leave them in mate it makes it a better ride and doesnt clunk

ok cheers. left them in. Dropped the back off the jacks and rear ride height is almost the same as standard, as some do. Coilsprings.co.uk here we come

looking cool doesn't make the car handle better

Would you fit alloy wheels without tyres???

Obviously not, no. I cant remember now but im sure back in the days when I had a corsa sport, fitted jamex lowering springs which were loooooow, lef tthe rubber pads out. Back in the days when looking cool was preferred over ride quality haha

they take a couple of days to settle mate i will get a picture of my clio up later

sounds good cheers! I actually quite like the stance of it at the moment, drives beautifully too. Feels more planted round the corners

aye i found that aswell feels more flat but still has the comfort you need
