how do i get this low..

[Phill1978]

or maybe a bit higher by a few cms but you get the point it looks mint a bit like an old mini in stance. my 172 on konis is quite low at the back but its not proper low like this.

whats the minimum you can go without clipping speed bumps or rubbing arches.. 60mm seems a good balance

[patty]

i would have thought the exhaust would be the main worry, mine is a b**ch, either rattles the axel or the car floor, and mine is two turns up at the rear.....

thats 1.2/1.4/1.6 variant isnt it ? i.e not an RS

[Fred@BTM]

and meggerman, Yozzasport custom springs are being made that will lower the RS clios almost as much as mine

£530 sounds like there is a madman floating around the world in boat.

 

[Ali]

^ What else did you give him tho!

 

[Fred@BTM]

that was it, he just wanted rid of it all, i got a bargain that day

no manifolds or gearboxes, but hey for £530

brand new engines too

 

[Christopher]

you will need those spare turbos if you plan on being a sport and running anti-lag like i heard a while back.

the spings sound good mate, i take it that the angle grinder would have to come out when you fit them, yes?

thats fekin awesome. just like the rear shot. a black 172/182 has to be that low or simular. just makes it look so much more purposeful and supercar like.
