Lowerd MK1 Clio's

[Jay MK1]

Im going to lower my MK1 Clio, but im not sure how much to do it by!

Can i see some other MK1's that are lowerd pleased, preferably on 15's but any will do!

This is mine down 35mm using 16v shocks and 16v lowering springs and sitting on 14s (so the equivalent of -55 no 16v springs);

Shitloads of space less in the arches and TBH isn't low enough for my liking so i'm on the hunt for some -55 valver springs atm...going to wait until i get my antiroll bar on first tho as it'll become quite close to the arches.

my valver on 15's, i don't how low it is though, back looks a bit higher in this pic because there's no interior in it

 

[mr_merc]

My valver on standard 15's, don't know how low it is though. I assume about 30 mm?

Do any of you get any exhaust knocking on the rear torsion bar then? Even on mine, which I think is only about 30 mm my mongoose knocks like a b**ch.

 

[u33db]

All clios/meganes/r5s do that...its a s**t design for routing the exhaust over the axle and is basically just good luck and lots of fiddling that cure it. Case of putting up with it TBH...

 

[midge]

my exhaust is constantly bouncing of the bar

 

[Mattie h]

my m8s knocks all the fuckin time! think theres a bracket missing though

could try using smaller clips or brackets, would of thought this would stop most of the play

 

[ChrisE]

lowered 50 mm...!!

Thanks mate, tbh, I think the exhaust is currently sitting on the bar itself having lowered it over the weekend.

F* s**t design unfortunately. I can't seem to "pull" it up anymore than I already have.

Ive got springs now so it will be dropping by 60mm at the front but at the back im not sure!

To adjust the torsion bar is it hard?
