dynamique handling

[tigerclio]

collecting my 1.2 16v dynamique at the weekend, what is the best route to go down in regards to handling? i was thinking leave standard 15"s and lower 40mm or upgrade to 16" 172 alloys and lower it, what does anyone recommend?

might aswell go the whole hog.
16s, -55mm & new dampers.

i wanted to keep costs low hence the reason to go just for springs, either apex -40mm or pi -60, i thought the -60 would be a bit much using standard shocks.

ive had both Apex 40mm springs and im now running Pi 60mm springs (standard shocks) I would say ride and handling is better on the 40mm springs than the 60mms. The handling on 60mm is a bit bumpy and the car can hop around a bit. Im eventually going to upgrade to koni adjustable shocks or full on H&R or K&W coilovers

GO 40MM ON 17S WILL GO ON WITH NO MODS TO BODYWORK

Ive got 40mm springs(Freds old springs.) and 172 wheels and agree that the handling and ride is excellent.

sorry bad typing, Not 172 wheels- 17"s

ive got -35mm Pi springs on standard dampers and wheels, give a good ride but seem a bit soft, 2hotty - you say that you can fit 17s on with no mods, what style did you go for?
