Finally Got Her Lowered.

[MDP91]

Well, after much uming and aring, I decided to lower the Clio by 40mm. I think its low enough for what I want, and I am very pleased with the results.
So anyways, took it over to my mate this morning and spent 2 hours fitting them. Must say even on 40's the ride feels alot firmer. Just waiting for it to settle abit now.

Here's a few pics I nabbed on my phone.

First the rears springs.

Yes, I know I need to paint up my drums, they look shite atm. :dead:

Rear's done, but still on the standards at the front, lol. Reverse hotrod

Next on with the front springs. Armed with the trusty can on WD40, it took some fighting.

Fronts both on + rears too.

After a small drive around the block. I know they need to settle some more, but im please :approve:

Quick Before & After

I know its nothing to special, but im happy with 40mm

[Jordi17]

Yeah, my Apex are yellow thats why I asked what springs. Unless they changed colour?

I was thinking that. Not the best way of getting the car up. Looks nice though mate.

Haha yea, wasn't a fan.

 

[alex-avfc]

Some pikey jacking methods going on there but an improvement in looks. I'd say they're more likely to be Gmax/Spax in red...

If it had a rubber pad on it would be fine...
