You'll find increased wear on various componants inc. tyres but nothing too mayjor. Dampers will wear quicker too! The most damage will be to the handling of the car! If it's a RS clio then the harsh ride and short suspension travel of the apex will ruin it's ability on a b-road! Up to you, looks or performance?

thanks for your reply mate cheers

also the rear springs will drop out over hump back bridges cuz the shocks arnt long enought to keep them in

i disagree mate i have an rs and apex springs and since fitting the apex i have found the handling of the car to be excellent.. i have have various springs through my clio time and i actually rate the apex very very well...i know the ride is a little harsh sometimes but i have full confidence when throwing it into the bends

I agree with Clidge although I don't have an RS clio.

I have a 1.2 dynamique and I have spax 60mm lowering springs. Body roll is greatly reduced and the car handles much better.

Do you mean you need tips when lowering it yourself :S?


If so I would say get some spring compressors if you don't like taking risks.
