Lowered 60mm

[mattvik123]

Can anyone post a pic of 54reg shaped clio with the 16inch 172 alloys on, with 60mm lowering springs on. The reason being ive just bought the rims but not sure whether 2 lower my car 35mm 0r 60mm. Cheers guys

i personally rekon 60mm is WAY too much, 35mm shud look spot on mate.

Comeback king!?

 

[Ali]

^Sure why not!

 

[tommyboy]

^ Lol

It was a good comeback tho to be fair.

My old 1.2 looked s**t hot...Bar the rear lights and skirts...Although they looked ok actually.

Went round corners 100x beta than my 172...

 

[Gavin_x2c]

60mm all the way i think

 

[Ali]

Here's alan's...

 

[tommyboy]

60mm and above or don't bother IMO after seeing most of these shots

 

[R20 CWH]

^^ not like that anymore

 

[Ali]

what you giving it Chic?

 

[Harry_manback]

60mm or more or i wouldnt bother, you could always get a fat bird and stick her in the back when you drive about if you want the 35mm look!

 

[Martin_172]

no point in going anything less than 60mm, i know a couple of guys lowered 30-40mm and it looks standard!

 

[MattT]

^^ Yup, 60mm or don't bother.

 

[Iain C]

60 is fine...do it!

 

[one_eight_two]

ali what rear light do u have on that black clio? i acctually quite like the look of them....

 

[Clarkie172]

I say, if you sell your car and the lad cant get it MOT'd because the garage requests it raised or spacers put on it, its a fail...... then its about the right height!
seriously though, so many people lower their cars by 30-40 mm and wish they went lower! 60mm or lower I say!!!

 

[Limca]

or you could go 80mm on fk's and any less be a ghey. :clown:
oh and i passed my MOT. less just say it just about fit on the rollers. lol

 

[handsyboy]

30mm springs, i think they look spot on...

 

[Munson]

Dropping a non-sport 60mm is about the same height as dropping a sport 40mm, isn't it?

 

[MattT]

^^ Yup, sounds about right.

 

[Munson]

Still waiting for my Apex 40mm to show up

 

[dannyboy172]

I know this is a sport, but hey...Mines -40mm Apex...17's are coming soon!

 

[Munson]

^^Where are my funking springs?!

 

[Martin_172]

I know this is a sport, but hey...Mines -40mm Apex...17's are coming soon!

you know about the handling issues 17s will cause dont you? dont mean that as a dig just incase you didnt and ended up dissapointed

 

[dannyboy172]

For general road use, i'm sure they will be fine??

I've got a spare set of 172 alloys if i don't like 'em.

 

[mattvik123]

Cheers guys thats made my mind up! 60mm it is then!!

im my opinon there isnt any handeling issues with 17s ive got 17s with 60mm drop on my clio i have had 16s before and cudnt realy tell difference only that ride was ever so silghty harder on crapy roads still have bags of fun round corners

 

[V9 GSW]

I'm wanting to lower but will 60mm not cause complications? I've got a 1.2 16v 55 reg with TD pro race 16'' alloys...
