KTEC Coilys!!

[dmallett]

Or because I like the look and its different..... not everyone buys a car dedicated to Track, Keep driving fun and original

Not really different. So how low do you want to go?

For example, 15" wheels ktec/raceland coilies with rear adjusters removed and wound down pretty low on the front on a stripped out car.

Or do you want lower? and what size wheels are you going to run on?

Lowering it is just the start..... Front is decent height but the back needs to be a bit lower,
planning on running Rota Grid Drift 16"x8" alloys with 195/45/16 tires

No chance with 45s unless you have arch work, still need a bit with 40s and camber

 

[dmallett]

with a full interior it would sit lower, i reckon it would rub a lot though!

Front is fine it's the backs where you will struggle. Just letting you know

You will need 40s and a lot of camber if you want it low.

I wouldn't go to low on the back, im on ktec coilovers pretty much wound all the way Down, the front is slammed and the back is deffo more than 45, there's no arch gap anyway, but then I get the issue of going stupidly slow over bumps because the whole underside of my car scrapes. Dont get me wrong it looks good, and sticks like s**t to a blanket round the bends but I may raise it a tad on the front. If my rear was any lower then id gave serious issues. Think its around 50/60 but that's just right. Must be 100 on the front

Ah right! By any chance you got a picture of your car?
Sounds decent though, and what wheels/tires you on aswell ?

Why would you lower the back so far down it looks stupid? :S

Pretty sure the Clio's have forward rake for a reason? Mind you if you're going that low then obviously handling isn't at all in the focus.

Cos its looks amazing......

Let him do what he wants, it's his car not yours.

I'd personally get a decent set of coilovers, a used set if you have a budget. FK's or similar.

If you aren't bothered about handling and just want it really low, just get the cheapest s**t you can find and slam it you'll have a lot of scraping issues though, the underneath side of 172s has a lot of dangly bits.

Thanks I think haha,
Who aint at a budget at the moment tbh, Im looking at the FK's now, but ekaJ car looks the what the image in my head haha,
Just have to be a careful driver then

I just hope this doesn't turn into a "I can't afford to get £250 coilovers, should I get them on finance?" - That would be the real icing on the cake!

Best of luck otherwise.
