i was wondering how i should go about it. Springs alone ok? I dont wanna go too low - i have 172 wheels on it with spacers. any ideas??

Just springs go for 60mm on PI springs !! The only way to go really, looks the dogs danglies !!

is it possible to have passengers without rubbing??

It shouldnt be a problem with your wheels, mines dropped -60mm on pi springs on 17s and i havent had rubbing with 1 person in the back and 2 in the front.

Handling is improved yes, it is a lot stiffer, you will feel EVERY bump in the road though!!

I had problems with the 172 wheels due to offset when i put them on. will a 60mm drop cause further probs??

 

[cliosportcraig]

Shouldnt do mate !!

 

[craigaward]

so PI the way to go, how much are they??

 

[mr sheep]

have u got spacers on the back? if n-ot the wheels qwill rub on the inside due to the difference in offset.

60mm p.is are around 80 quid

 

[OLLZIE]

what size spacers are required?

 

[mr sheep]

5mm will do - only needed on back

Ive got the same shape Clio, 16inch 172 alloys, -60mm PI springs, 5mm spacers on the back.

I have had 5 people in the car with a boot full of luggage, it was proper on its arse - the tyres were up inside the rear arches and I still had no rubbing.

When the car is that loaded the ride is a little harsh (especially for rear passengers) - but when its just me and a mate in, I find the ride acceptable, plus it now has a lot less body roll.
