Lowering a 172 Cup? How much is ok?



  Clio Sport 172 Cup Mk2
Recently got some Apex lowering springs for my beastie from "K-tec" lowers it by 30mm at all points.. will i experience any issues with rubbing in arches... Anyone have any other things to point out?

Guidance needed! lol

Apex are 40mm drop (yellow springs)

thats the lowest available springs you can get, you'll have no problems with rubbing

Oh excellent.... thats brillient news. and 10mm lower than i thought! Gonna have an interesting time fitting them! Should i adjust the wheel camber as well... i heard some things about tyre wear points being effected as well.!?

camber isn't affected, fit the springs, get the tracking done after a month or so (so the springs can settle) job done

its 2hrs to fit the springs, 4hrs if you're a dumbass

Camber is effected, its just that you can do little about it.
