best ride height for 16s

[Jon.L]

any ideas how much i should lower my clio and what springs inorder to keep it as responsive as i can. i have 16" f1s on it

 

[wallis_172]

i had h&r's on mine n still wanted it low when i sold them so went for apex 40mm, but the ride is dump. Id go for eibach sportlines, they lower the car by 30mm iir and is meant to be really good handling.

 

[Rich_rs182]

mine is lowered 40mm on apex but as said above the ride is pretty pants

 

[fil_b]

i gone for apex with koni shocks

not to bad atm - on soft its nice round the islands

 

[Fletcher]

I'd say 30-40mm.

 

[FlameR]

eibach sportlines. so about 30mm.

look miules better on coilovers though, and does a lot more for handling

someone post a pic of jordans car, thats the correct height

jamie

 

[Christopher]

70mm front, 60mm ish on the back

no rubbing at all

 

[JD]

"f0xy" i mean

 

[JD]

dont know the height, i aimed to get the tyres just below the arches, so there is no gap but shows all the tyre so it can shine bllllacccckkkk

thats the best height IMO

Chris you just posted that one cause your car was in it too !

Either way id save the extra and get a set of Coils you wont look back and go around 50mm to start see how you like the look

 

[JR]

What you really need is a pic of a lowered silver ph 1 with 16" Oz f1s on.

My old one.

And the usual pic

I ordered the Weitecs for my Mk3 and should have them next week....can tell you how they are once i get them fitted

 

[JR]

In answer to your pm mate, apex 40 mm springs with new renault sport shocks

 

[Jon.L]

how where they?

 

[franx]

just mind the bumperbracket in the front wheel-arches..

I mounted H&R's how they came out the box (recommended hight) and i get scrubbing from these brackets.

You have to feel up and down the wheelarch and you'll find out what i mean , they stick out !

 

[Baz-ESD]

Brrrappppppp

Not F1's but still on 16's

Thats on a Spax RSX coilove kit with fixed 60mm rear and the front is as low as i could get it

 

[JR]

how where they?

fine imo, not to bad on track either

 

[Mark One]

eibach sportlines. so about 30mm.

look miules better on coilovers though, and does a lot more for handling

totally agree all the way

 

[Mikey]

nah some of these are too low, look at BTCC cars, set lower at front than rear but without scraping on the ground, this is to allow the rear end to move easier to help prevent understeer and allows the car to turn in better.
