read "scraping bits of paper off the road.."

 

[Chris H]

whats the ride like when its lowered 40mm and how much would you say it will cost?

does lowerin do anythin to your warranty?

 

[Bryan]

speak to your local dealer about the warranty issues,

they dont often like you doind it, though mine let me

when the car is lowered 35mm (mine) the ride only a little bit stiffer than standard

60mm is a lot stiffer than standard (cheers for the drive fred) and handles much better

 

[Tom]

60mm handles better?

 

[Bryan]

yep, freds car felt much more competant going round corners than mine, just held the road so much better

 

[Chris H]

wot sort of price will i be lookin at to get it lowered?

 

[KDF]

In a lowered car it will ofter handle much better .. retaining grip for longer periods, the downside however is when the tyres do let go the do so suddenly.. not progressivly like on a normal car where you can predict how much slide your going to get from a tyre..

 

[Bryan]

for the springs only around 90

then the cost of fitting which varies

 

[Chris H]

how much approx for the fitting mate?

 

[Chris H]

oh and which springs do u recommend? also what about backboxes do they do them for this clio?

 

[Chris]

Just Lowered mine 60mm on PI springs at the weekend (thanks to Fred,he made it lok so easy!!!) and i am well pleased with the results!!!

Ride is a bit bumpy but who cares it looks good!!! Handles superb!! recommend it!

17" s are next on the cars hopefully this week!!

Try a get some pics up soon!

Chris

 

[Bryan]

best bet is to speak to k-tec regarding all your issues, they an help you out with all the info you need

will cost you about £80 for the springs, tops! and £10 per corner for fitting (if you cant do it yourself)

heres a pic of mine lowered 35mm on Spax with 17s. the ride is fine and never ever scrapes. Also can still take 5 people with no problems:

[Fred@BTM]

Chris H????? Where do you live????? If youre localish too me ill fit them for you??? (for a few ££££££!)

 

[boyE]

SoLow, nice car but I am not sure about the red paint on the brakes?!

 

[maff]

My mate had an escort, he lowered it by taking the springs off and angle grinding a couple coils off each! bloody nutter!

 

[Bryan]

not worth the risks, just buy some lowering springs, theyre not expensive

 

[maff]

yeah i agree, when he went a bit quick round corners and round abouts the springs used to unseat, used to scare the hell out of me. it used to bottom out on everythin!
