Clio 1.2

[Gaz85]

After of nearly a year of being pretty standard a few pictures of the car after picking up R666CHE old wheels and getting them on.

Only other mods are front indictor bulbs and k&n induction kit.

Next mod will be to get it lowered.

looks tidy bud.
how much u going to lower it ??

 

[Gaz85]

Cheers lads, not overly sure mate on how low there is about 40mm between the top of the tire and the arch left.

Any suggestions?

60mm!

 

[scott1205]

tbh 40mm would do the job for that and the ride wont be as bad

 

[Gaz85]

had orignally been thinking 60mm before i made the impulse buy of the wheels, but aye i think 40mm would be sensible.

 

[Jordi17]

40mm will be cheaper as you will ony have to buy the springs

You can easily run 60mm springs on standard shocks. There are loads of people on this site who did it and I've been doing it for months with no problems, they'll just wear out a bit faster is all.

What size of wheels are they?

haha aye yours are not too bad too!

Well seeing as it's 17s you've got on I'd actually agree with the rest for a change and say 40mm, 60 will probably rub a fair bit.

 

[VibeFliClioGrande]

you might have a bit of trouble slammin it by 60mm if u have 17s to be honest, but ive gone the full 60 and never regretted it, im not gna bullshit, the ride is pretty hard, but it feels a lot more responsive and gives it so much more attitude

 

[Gaz85]

the thought of 60mm was before i went and got 17s. thinking 40mm on it now though, yet to deciede what springs to go for though.

Apex! Eibachs do sod all lowering a non-rs.

 

[Jordi17]

^ +1, apex 40mm they go lower than eibach plus they're cheaper

Cheers will set about getting a set delivered soon, then see where it goes from there.

Drums are needing cleaned up so that will be a job one sunny day.
