Lowered Mk1’s Pic Request.

[donsrno1]

Could you please post picturess of your lowered Mk1 Clios and say how much it is lowered by and how big the wheels are. I am really looking for pictures of Non 16v or Williams Clios because mine is a Mk1 Ph2 1.4 RT.

Im hoping to go 55mm but that would probably mean some scrubbing so I just want to see if that would be worth it for the improved looks as I like really low cars.

Thanks.

Dave.

Have a look in my gallery, i know its a 5 door, but its a non 16v.

Its a 40mm drop on the front, and 35mm on the back

My alloys are just willy wheels, with 195/50/15 rubber on them, no rubbing at all, even with the car loaded up with 3 people in the back and a passenger in the front

 

[m4rk]

what size wheels you going? 40mm was enough for me on 195 45 16s. rubbed the rear arch lining as you saw but thats all.

My phase 3 lowered 55mm all round.

On standard 15" Turbines with 185/55 tyres.

No mud guards, no rubbing.

heres my clio 1.2 its on 195/45/15 tyre and its lowered 60mm front and about 80-90mm back. the back rubs like crazy with passengers and im getting it raised about 20mm, you could prob get away with it with some arch mods though and it also depends on the make of tyre, my last tyres were fine but the ones ive got now have a rim protector so theyre just a little bit wider.

^^ reckon ill be going 55-60mm soon too....

 

[PsYch0]

mine is 40mm i think. i didnt have it lowered, and on 15" wheels, 195/45R15 rubber. no scrubbing even with full car.

I spose front could be a bit lower but ground clearance is just practical enough not to make speed bump areas a no go.

Thanks

heres mine - 30 at the frontand 2 notchs on the torsion barhttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/rollinon17s/DSCI0029.jpg

 

[midge]

phscho looks like 60mm to me mate

 

[beatjunkie]

i would have said phsycos at 2 clicks of the torsion bar (50mm) and 35mm springs as mine was like that!

 

[donsrno1]

Thanks for all the photos people. I think I might go 55mm because I think that in a lot of the photos of 35 or 40mm just look higher than I would want at the front. Some more photos would still be really helpfull though.

Would it be possible to get no scrubbing with it lowered 55mm all round? If so what arch work would be needed and howmuch would it cost?

Thanks.

 

[patty]

^^ 15s & the right offset, remove the arch guards and i doubt ud have scrubbing at all....

[donsrno1]

Im pretty much set on that now TBH. I just need someone I was PMing on here about a suspension kit to reply but I dont think he is browsing the forums anymore and I dont have his e-mail address (and its not in his profile.)

 

[DazRsi]

around 50-55mm

[patty]

get urself some 15s, lower it 55-60mm mate and ull be happy, i prefer my 15s since i came down from 16s, they were takin away any accelleration i had!!

 

[patty]

oh and phase2valver wheels/turbines are always good to get cheap and then refurb... did mine in black meself

 

[Djw Dave]

Mines is 50 on f**ked shocks so it sits really low. (you have seen it) scrubs on arch liners (front and back) with Mk1 172 wheels.

dave

 

[patty]

^^could try some spacers on it cus arent the offsets totally different so its gonna cause scrubbin (like on justys too)

Loving those rims winston

So true!!! My rears dont rub at all, with arch liners removed they only rub on full lock - well only the drivers side does!!! 3mm spacers with arch liners removed will solve the problem Dave!

 

[JJ!]

Although mine is only 35mm at the front - sits a bit lower than it does in the pic now as springs are settled!
