lowering and alloys

[D"w!Z]

hi guys, im new to this forum, and i am begining to modify my clio. as i have recently brought new alloys for my car, i now need to lowerer it, jus wanted to kno wen i take it to the garage can i leave the steel wheels on or do i have to put the alloys on first, just that i dont want those mechanics damaging them. thanks

It will depend on what drop you are going I would imagine. If the rop you are going for might be tight and is gonna need arch work etc then I would leave the alloys on, if its pretty straight forward then you can probably leave steelies on I would think.

u can do either. i took it to rtec and they lowered it and didnt damage my wheels in the slightest, just tell them that u have photos of all ur wheels mint and need them to gurantee they will replace them if they damage the, then u wont nee dto worry.

unless you are putting on 18s or bigger or have the wrong offset wheels you shouldnt have to worry about arch mods

im just getting the 16"s from the mk2 172 put on, their lowering it 35mm front, 30mm rear with pi springs. jus thought the suspensions setup was determined by the wheel size. thanks anyway ill post some pics up wen its worthy of being on this site
