[glyn1980]

Before :-

and the best bit
After :-

I'm well happy and they definately have improved the handling, just need to watch out for humps!

Will put some more pics up tomorrow. Just jetwashed the car and it looks good!

 

[ClioGav]

a millions times better spoiler's not my cuppa tho...

 

[Greeny.]

a HUGE improvement.

Must feel alot better on the road as well?

Springs and shocks I take it for a large drop like that yer?

 

[xcore]

what is it dropped on?

 

[Pettsi]

Looks 100x better! I wonder why it was so tall before being lowered?

 

[glyn1980]

It had the Apex Sport kit - Shocks and Springs done at Ktec on Sat. Does feel better, much stiffer, but not OTT. I'm very glad I got it done!

[Fagan]

[xcore]

[xcore]

[glyn1980]

I did that before, and i managed to create the worst handling car in the world!!

 

[xcore]

pricey for a spring and shock kit imo could have got coilies for 150 more which you just bolt straight in

I was quoted £500 for the Spax spring and shock kit. The Ktec quote was the most competitive I received.

Looks damn cool. im not guna be exactly guna be flying in a 1.2 clio am i:rasp:

 

[cat171]

maybe flying into a fence or something if it's going to handle that badly

 

[xcore]

lol its not That bad you just feel potholes ALot more.
il buy a strutbrase to compensate if you care THAT much;P

 

[cat171]

Lol, I don't care, it just seemed an odd thing to do that's all.

 

[Da]

A strutbrace on a 1.2 Clio?

 

[xcore]

^^ why not? ph2 lights on a ph1
172 grill on a 1.2, the list goes on

 

[Da]

I meant I doubt it'd make a substantial difference to the handling

 

[miltage2]

much much better!!

 

[Day]

And here's thinking mine is slammed!

I was in Bournemouth last week and my splitter was scraping all over the place.

Yeah am slighlty worried about that in the future, but I only have the crappy rubber splitter so not too fussed!
