172 suspension thought

[mickstoke]

is the 172/182 suspension lower than a 1.2 and will they fit?

 

[DrR]

Yes it is, and no it won't.

 

[Craig]

[adam_socks]

well does the 172/182 suspension fit the 1.4/1.6 16v ph2 clios? ive been told by 2 people on here that it does

 

[mickstoke]

ph2 is different i think!

 

[Sam]

tbh mate. Springs are only like 50 quid second hand. 80 quid new!!

 

[adam_socks]

[mickstoke]
