If I remove rear seats, parcel shelf etc....

[123stevevw]

would the back end of my 172 look really high or would it not make a difference?

If you remove weight ur car is obv going to look higher? Coilovers are the anser

 

[jesus]

PH1 ones are known for rising a LOT when stripped, so probably.

 

[123stevevw]

I meant will it look silly high?

What I'm getting at I suppose is this; By stripping the rear am I going to open up a can of worms and end up spending money? i.e. on coillies etc

 

[kevo66]

Rear seats wont make it too bad, but if you take the parcel shelf out...


...You can be expecting bin laden arches

the reason i said rear seat and parcel shelf was so that people would see that I wasn't planning on completely stripping the rear of everything :rasp:

haven't the old 172s got the rear torsion bar setup, correct me if i'm wrong

 

[123stevevw]

mines a 2002 '02 if that makes a difference....

didn't all Clio 2s have the same?

I get confused when people talk about anti roll bar for the rear - the rear suspension seems to be fully dependant so there's no need for an anti roll bar at the rear?

 

[Da]

The torsion bar setup was in the Mk1's. Mk2's do not have it.

 

[rexe]

Mk1 phs 1 2 3 - aka Williams, 16v etc all have torsion bar setup

Mk2 phs 1 2 3? have a mcphearson strut and spring setup all round with a rear beam.

 

[Russy B]

i wasn't sure

 

[rexe]

Whats the Mk3 setup? Still a trailing rear beam, or have they gone independant this time?

Mine is bare metal inside apart from the two front seats and on standard springs/dampers at the back it's sits like this
