However low you go your always want to go lower why put of the inevitable save for coilover for 80mm lowering. (even more with custom springs)

mines lowered 40mm and I DONT wanna lower it anymore.

If you dont want that cruiser look, I think it looks sporty enough without looking too modded.

Get -60mm!! I had -40mm and there now off the car. Regret getting them in the first place, you can still get 5 folk in the car on -60mm on 17s with no rubbage!

Im selling ma spring if ur interested.

Ill post pics this weekend.

I think if your keeping your car pretty standard, with the 15s or a subtle upgrade then -40mm would suit it, but if you want 17s, big spoilers etc. youll want to go further, even with -60mm theres a noticeable arch gap.

Does anyone not think those Leggeras look small compared to other 17s?

I have Leggeras at the moment and they look titchy,

And i have 40ml, i think 60ml is just too much of an uncomfortable ride man. Bumpy as hell, unless your prepared to uprate the shocks.

Or i suppose you could cheat and cut the springs!

How much do you pay for 60ml springs? and where from?

Do people fit em themselves?

Fred / AJM, i must say Clios look lovely! respect! mines exactly the same in silver. Soon to have no leggeras though.

lol, yes but u can drop acar 60mm on 17s and still take 6 pplz in the car and over humps with no rubbing so that not recommended thing is poop!

Quote: simple way round that 1 dont tell em or lie bout the amount its lowered. what insurance company u with

Yeah mate... Thats a great idea... u know why? Coz ive got a 53 plate clio... i modded it, i crashed it in janurary, my insurance was then voided coz of my modifications and i have now just forked our 5k to get it repaired and reinsure it for a year, so if u wanna do that then u feel free! but theres no way im doing that again! and no, i aint even gonna lie about how much, im just glad ive got it insured and all the mods insured too this time around.

id agree with Connor, i went through my first year with the clio keeping it standard due to the free insurance, then modified it after the 1st year, on my insurance i pay EXTRA for to have the freedom of mods. I spent an extra £200 this year round to stay with a mod friendly company. Declaration is the only way to go.............even for the extra expense

Too right... cheers r30bc.

Im now paying 400 more for my mods to be declared and i think thats very good considering my track record etc.
