50,60,70mm springs?

[Ry.clio]

I want to buy a set of springs for my Clio campus 8v, car came on 14s, I've got the 16s on now & I want to lower it much as possible obviously avoiding Rub? Anybody done this before if so you have pics & any useful info? Cheers

You could lower it on 60mm springs but it would drive absolutely horrible. Bordering on unsafe to be fair.

Even 35mm springs remove most of the comfort.

A set of coilovers can be had for £200 on eBay, and you can go 100mm on the back and 80 on the front. (And it will still drive absolutely horrible, but at least the shocks are designed so they can run that low)

Makita make a real good lowering kit

40mm is enough and as previously mentioned it drives better but is a hard ride.

Mines defo can't be 50mm springs if this is on 60

Also springs pretty much never lower by the amount they say they will.
As above, there’s so much arch gap on non sports, the only way to go is coilovers.
