Hey there! My first post here! I basically just passed my driving test a week back and fitted some nice 17s on my clio 1.4. (hoping to get clio sport in future.) It is riding pretty high now tho so was thinking of getting it lowered. Anyone know by how much? I do not have a kit on it or anything, so id like it to be noticeably low for now but at the same time not to low that im doing dmg to rims or the suspension when going over bumps etc. If anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

what reg is it that might help us??
If its a phase 1 i was told not to lower it more than 35mm because of the brake bias sencer on the rear torchon beam. (IF THE CAR DOES NOT HAS ABS) because when you go around corners the car thinks that there is weight in the back and the appilys more braking power to the rear wheels that then locks them up because there is on one in the back on the car if you get me.
thats why i only lowered my phase 1 -35mm. my phase 2 has abs and i have lowered it -60!
Get some pictures up of your car then we will be able to tell you what phase it is!

ive got fk coilovers on.
My front front bumper had to come off to go on the RR because it was too low.
sometimes too low aint good. I cant even drive into underground shopping car parks. lol dont get me started on humps.... but the low look is a great look
coilovers will cost you 450

kool, will look nice and low!! so its a MK2 phase1 then mate!
The ride will be bouncy because ur not upgrading your socks to work with the springs but its all good! It will roll more when turning corners to but not as much as atm. Full Kits best in IMO, Then collies!!!!!
You have springs at the rear two then, they are not with the dampers they are situated behind them seperatly!!
Are you fitting the springs yourself?????
