How much to lower a Clio if also adding a full body kit?

[GabrielKnight]

Hi,

I want to add a full body kit to my Clio mk1, how much should I lower the front and back?

Would you normally lower then add body kit, or the other way round?

Thanks! :star:

Depend on the kit and clearances.

Body kit then lower is the way forward IMO

40 mm max whatever you do....otherwise you will upset the handling of the car end of

Hmmm, but other people have said 30mm is for homos and you can't even tell its been done, and that 15" wheels look silly on less than 50mm?!

So.. what was the 'Cliosport' concensus again?! (see original question)

Lower it 60-80mm and forget the kit

 

[GabrielKnight]

Yea but.. (see original question)

 

[Sarah]

dont kit it just lower it 60 mm

 

[GabrielKnight]

Again, will seriously consider another confirmation of opinion, but if answering the original question...

Just lower it, then maybe some "subtle" mods.

id put the kit on then lower it that way you can tell how low you can get it

 

[jamesp24]

You do bodykit first then lower.

What type of mk1 is it?

A regular (Ie RT) will easily take 60 mil drop.

A valver/will won as its lower as standard anyway
