Its nice, but its a little erm 4x4 style on the ground clearance - sorry - but it will look cool once its lowered. You are going to lower it aren't you!

 

[RuFF21]

Slam

 

[Middo]

for my liking the tints are a bit tooo dark, make it look like a clio van.

However love the wheels, and will look mean when its slammed

 

[mikey_172]

no lowering i dont wanna slide out through bends lowering it makes the car handle s**t i been in one lowered round bends and werent impressed this suspension sticks round the bends

 

[bmh.01]

Well it can't have been done right because I don't think theres many people that have had worse handling after lowering on here. Mine was an improvement over standard for sure, not night and day but definetly and improvement.

 

[Middo]

was it on pi suspension per chance or just springs?

u obviously dont know much about suspension, you should have a search through this site if you wanna find out a bit more. Get a kit for good ride, get coilovers if you want it to handle like a go kart

 

[Duncx]

You need Eibachs, no handling problems on the wife's 1.6

 

[tommyboy]

will look mint when its slammed. get silvervisons too and clear side repeaters

[mikey_172]

[carthy16v]

punto!!fpmsl!you recon a punto would hadle the same as a clio lowered?clios are go karts havent you read reviews on em?ever parkers say clios handle like there on rails

 

[S Garbett]

Go Coilovers if you can aford them. Your clio will handle like a go kart and the handling will be mint! I wish i had gone coilovers but couldnt afford them at the time so went with full suspension kit and that has good handling tbh.

Mines lowered -60mm on 17's. It looks so much better lowered : DO IT!!!

What shade are your tints??

Your clio looks nice but will look very nice if you lower it!

Hiya Mikey. Love what you have done to your Clio. However, I do agree it needs lowering. I understand you are worried about handling. Duncx mentioned his Mrs Clio. Well, I'm The Mrs and I have Eibachs on mine and I can honestly say it was the best thing I could have done for my car. The handling is superb! No more jumping over bumps and hanging onto the steering wheel, roundabouts are loads more fun as are country roads.

I was very much against lowering when I first started modding my car, but I was assured by some very nice and experienced Clio owners that I couldn't go wrong with Eibachs, so I got a complete kit (springs and dampers), cost just over £500 a few months ago. I was smiling like a cheshire cat when it was done and I'm still smiling.

I notce that you do not live far from me, so if you would like a demonstration at some point, feel free to pm me and I will show you what it is like.



Here's a pic of mine on Eibachs.
