60mm lowering springs

[ksykes23]

Hey

New to the car modding and wanted to lower 1.2t mk3 clio as the first thing i do. I intend on having it on 15" BBS deep dish rims with low profile tyres an thought 60mm would give a good drop, but im inexperienced so im not sure? Any ideas? And if so can u give me any ideas on which spring would be good (not too harsh).

Ps i will eventually get coilovers but havent got anywhere near the money atm

Thanks

imo anything lower than 40mm should be done using a full aftermarket suspension kit or coilovers

Hmmm possibly 45mm h&r springs then? Is it because the 60mm would just give a stupidly hard ride or would it totally effect performance? Cheers mate

 

[MartinR]

a stupidly hard back breaking ride and shall make it crashy

Lol in that case i will totally scrap the 60mm idea for the time being and maybe go 45mm. Should be a little softer then? I saw that einach springs are softer in the 30mm but that seems too high if i will be on 15's

 

[MartinR]

look for progressively wound springs (eibach,Pi etc...) they shall give you a better ride than the apex and the like due to those being linear wound

Thats really helpful thanks mate! Gonna look see if eibach do 45mm springs
