Clio mk3 lowering springs

[bennettxo]

Looking to get lowering springs for my 1.2 mk3 and was wondering will I need to get new shocks etc or just simply swap the springs?

anything over 40mm and it is advised to get shorter/uprated shocks mate

I'm looking at 45mm think it will be okay?

Personally i'd run new shocks, but its up to you. im not sure if that extra 5mm will make a difference.

Just looking on FK but they only seem to have front shocks for your clio, no dampers
