best handling possible

[tomtom-070526]

would a -40mm or -60mm suspension kit be better? whats the best ride height to get the best handling? (mk1 clio)

40mm kit

IMHO

too much of a drop completely messes about with the geometry of the suspension

ditto, though you could take it to a reputable place to get it all sorted.

Yes essentially, im sure theres at least one race prep place near you, but it will cost you.

I agree, 40 mm gives a great ride, and on a mk 1 clio it actually looks alot lower! Lowered mine 40mm on AVOs with Chassis Dynamics springs (AVOs essentially), not too hard and no rubbing. Really chuffed with it.

All done professionally though, couldnt have done it myself.

what would be the effect on the handling if i didnt do all that?

the handling would be worse. search for a recent-ish thread from jj172, including explanation on camber/toe-in+out, etc and how to do this properly.
