As a lot of u will know, i have now lowered my car on 40mm apex springs on standard shocks. Having done it with a mate, i know all what was involved. I need some advice from the likes of CLIOJOHN, FRED and the others, TOM etc.........if u open the bonnet and look at the strut tops.......is there...

£5 for the little internal

complete with ClioSport sticker in car!!! Feels good having contributed to the club now :oops:

tap tap tap tappets! great eh

i paid £75 for the springs, and £15 for a pair of DRAPER spring compressors. So from what i hear, it still has a little bit of dropping to do! might get my tracking checked out, ill see how it goes!

thats what it like to hear John!!! yeah the ride is mint! felt too comfy, i thought that when i chucked it about it would be soft...........but it corners flat and with nice feeling!!! LOVE IT!!!! :D

the ride is mint! its actually better than standard!!!! And when u attack a roundabout..........oohhhhhhh lol, grip n go, feels miles better! It has to be said tho, the standard spring set-up must handle mell, its just it rolled a bit much! Ive cleaned the car now but need some sun to take some...

im only gettin the spoiler colour coded paddy, i just black the bump strips, dont wanna get too much paint involved wi it lol............personal preference :) id say it has a little bit more to drop......only fitted them 24hrs ago

lol..........thanks for all the help guys, we got it done in the end!!!!..........dont know if it needs to settle yet, but looks good, ride quality is amazing, and it corners like FCUK!!!!!! RIP my TOYO lol...

lol, from what i read its the back thats the easiest :oops:

it revs enough for what it is i guess........and like i say, i never hit it these days lol! best laugh is my mate.......206 lx 1.4..........green induction kit, powerflow centre section, magnex 206 gti back box (is it just me or does anyone else find all that funny???)......anyways, 5500rpm is...

i only said that as a rough estimation, to be honest, i cant really remember as i dont hit the limiter that often lol!!! it probably is a bit higher, 6300ish maybe? dunno

6250ish..........dont hit it too often tho..........it breaks easily lol :oops:

so tomorrow, me and a couple of mates are gonna attempt to lower my car..........with the aid of the DIY guide on the site!!!!!!! Give me a confidence boost guys.........is it easy enough to do??????? :oops:
