Coilovers or alloys?

[Stuiemc]

am stuck in a little situtation, av got a MK3 Clio and its currently lowered 45mm on standard alloys with 30mm spacers on the rear. Av got £550 to spend on ethier Coilovers or Alloys.

Which one would you go for first?

Id always do coilovers first then alloys.

Thats the way am thinking mainly because if i buy alloys itl be harder to save for coilovers as i would keep telling myself its already lowered ect ect. But if i buy coilies then al defo want alloys therefore i would defo save. But am thinking itl just look sh*t with standard alloys on.

If its already lowered i would spend the money on alloys

Yeah i would get the alloys.

I did Coilovers, then alloys. Id do the same tbh. Lowering it will make s**t alloys look better as well.

Anyone who says alloys first is a tool.

Your decision is show, or go? Go wins every time for me.

where is he going to go in a 1.4?? so coilovers will be show aswell.

As said its just for show speed isnt a thing am too concerned about tbh am not one for track days or racing around the streets and in this current financial market i cant afford the cost of driving a 2 litre for day to day driving lol

Id go for the coilovers but if its already lowered i see your situation, maybe go with some cheaper coilovers if youre not going for performance then some alloys. No point spending loads of money or mad expensive coilies if its not going to be a track car imo.

Theres no such thing as cheap colovers for a MK3 cheapest ones are AP amd there like £460 with discount, but am not keen on the stance they give so ad propz get FK as av never seen another MK3 with them on and there only £50 more.
