How low can i drop my clio mk2

[dannyboy86]

How low could i lower my clio without doing any thing to the arches. I have 16" alloys with the tyre profile 185, 35. I saw 60 mm lowering springs on ebay but sum 1 told me that i would have to change dampers aswell. i jus want it as low as possible without the cost nor the hassle.
cheers.

IMO the lowest you can go with just springs is -35mm
If you want to go lower, either a kit or even better coilovers

 

[dannyboy86]

wot would i be lookin 2 pay 4 a set of coilovers.

about £450ish for FK's which lower upto 85mm

 

[dannyboy86]

pricey compared to the 60 notes a was goin 2 pay 4 those springs. is their none a bit cheaper m8. am on a budget due 2 a really expensive insurance premium. a think a will jus go 4 35mm though n jus change the springs
cheers.

or -60mm on apex or such like kit which includes dampers. depends completely on your budget mate. and welcome to cliosport!!

 

[dannyboy86]

nice one.

opps was in a rush to get my bangers and mash. forgot to mention that the kits are about £260 iirc

I would definitly buy a full suspension kit, springs will just ruin your current dampers and will handle badly!!

The car will handle much better if you change the shocks as well.
