[RobFenn]

cool

 

[Tom]

cheers doode

 

[ClioJohn]

did you bother uprating the shocks etc?

I spoke to about 5 garages who both said Pi springs were dodgy quality and 60mm needed uprated shocks.

whats the ride like? Im loving my 40mm on the standard 15. The wheels sit well nice in the arches and the handling is amazing

 

[RobFenn]

Was going to ask the same question..

 

[Tom]

Nope no uprated shocks as the car is going bye bye soon- any drop of any kind eventually requires uprated shocks. but i dont want to lose any comfort.

the springs are fine quite good quality i paid £40 for them so im not gonna grumble (might change them to h&r soon have a set lined up for £60)

ride is better than it used to be, some of the comfort has gone but its so much more taught.

the handling has improve so much it its incredible

 

[RobFenn]

What you doing with it? ANd whyd you want new springs if its going? lol

Youll also get better fuel economy cos less drag, as im sure that was your primary concern

 

[Tom]

its going in august or i may keep it and run two cars

 

[RobFenn]

What do you want to buy then?

 

[Tom]

im getting a company car the the value of £25,000 guess what im getting

 

[Steveold]

[Fred@BTM]

Good lad Tom, 60mm or lower is the way to go!!!!!

 

[CS_Matt]

PI springs are a 55mm drop they dont do any lower for the clio

just had mine dumped on the 55 mm springs and it aint as low as i want it altho they have only been on there 2 days so should wear in a little bit. the backs certainly low enough lol about 85 mm i think

 

[Steveold]

Where is the guide then Tom?? I want to see how low your car looks too!

 

[Tom]
