how low to go on 15’s

[damo16v]

ive got 15" prima racing wheels wiv 185/55/15 rubber on my 16v clio

i want to lower it soon and want it to sit nice/look nice BUT dont want to compromise the ride comfort to much as my last car was like driving a pogo stick!

what springs should i get for front?

then is it just a case of leveling the back up?

thanks

35mm is pretty much standard issue, if you want the look and retain driveability. The torsion bar only needs adjusting by one turn to level things up.

yea try and keep the rear still sitting slightly higher than the front.

Im planning on a 35mil drop front & rear on my 15s when funds allow.

 

[damo16v]

yeah i know wot you mean mikey the funds aint allowing me to do f**kall to my motor at mo!

im gettin a 40mil drop on the front and 55mil on the bak

front springs = £40

torsion reset = £20

fittin front springs = £20

not bad £80 spent

£20 for torsion to be reset at a garage? heh... Thats not bad at all.

20 quid! I bet they wont even look at ur torsion bar for that!

got it a quote off a mate who works in a garage, as long as it aint seized

 

[tubs16v]

BB tuning offer lowering service £80 (fit springs and adjust torsion bar)

Springs (not included in price above) are available for 50mm drop

Bit of a delayed posting but thought this info may be useful to know:-

Ive just had my 16v lowered 35mm on 15s and it looks the business, AVO adjustable dampers all round with Chassis Dynamics (AVO) springs. The ride is superb, not too hard. I can definately recommend this combo.
