182 Cup Lowering

[liquid-yellow]

I want to lower my 182 Cup, but it seems a mine field out there with whats availiable, what will or won't fit on the cup model. I am looking at a drop of between 60mm and 80mm so guessing i need coilovers and have a budget of around £400. Does this seem realistic, i just love thearch cover the tyre look (i am on the standard 16" wheels but may be looking at going larger in the coming months)

If anyone can assist i would appriciate it very much
thanks in advance

1. Don't buy coilovers on a £400 budget
2. Don't drop an RS by 80mm if you intend it to still drive well.
3. 17's suck balls, stick with 16's.

First of all they didnt make a cup in liquid yellow!!! You have a 'cup' packed car ( just thought i,d get that out first ) . . . . Anyway for £350 you can get ktec coilovers to fit a cup or cup packed car, i know a few people who have them including me and they are great for the money. Dont go too low or you'll cause problems, tyres just in the arches is the lowest you'll want to go and as for the 17's, just dont! keep the 16's or go for 15's.

Thanks for the info. Its my first clio only had it a week so im still a bit of a noob. Il look out for some ktec's then, im guessing ebay is as good a place as any to go for them. As i can only really go up to £400 would i be better off with springs and shocks? thanks again

If you want K-tec coilovers go to K-tec's website for them.

Might be best just going for some eibach sportlines mate, about £130 and improve the stance without spending alot....

where are you based?

JMS do VMaxx coily's for quite near your budget and their price includes fitting as well...

Well said. Although 17's are fine. I liked them better than the 16s ironically.
