lowering 35mm, enough

[Rich_M]

hi all. thinking of lowering my clio, ive got 17s on it now. 205/40/17s . wanna know if ill have any problems lowering them on ktr springs?

they are on the k-tec page, for some reason it says front springs, then it says set of 4. i want the edge of the tyre just level with the arch. would 35mm do it. heres a link to the springs that im thinking of. the 35mm ones.as u can see though, the back is dead low anyways coz of my insatll. help, want it a lil lower but dont know what to do ?!?!?

id go 40mm, no more

60mm minimum

i had mine 35mm and it was too high

oh and measure the gap to see how much you need to lower it, fred has his lowered 110mm and the top of the tyre is only just inside the arch lip

its easy to look and think 35mm

but its never enough

if u want it to look lowerd id go 60mm

if u want it to look slammed get coil overs

I disagree!!!! Your damn right when you say 35mm is subtle!!!! so sublte infact you dont even think its lowered!!!!!

GO FOR 60MM MINIMUM!!!!

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON 35MM!!!

Heres a pic for you to compare (LEFT PIC = 60MM, RIGHT PIC = 40MM)
