i just lowered mine on 40mm apex springs....goto Motorsport World - Performance Car Parts
search for your car then find springs there like 90pound postage inc and you get em next day if you but befor 2pm....pretty easy to fit if ya have some mechanical experiance..if not get em done at a garage
highly reccomended

^^ Huh?! is that avaliable in english?
Right, the springs are always fixed height. no matter what. You cannot get adjustable springs, you can get adjustable spring plates(coil overs), which move the spring up and down thus lowering/raising it. The APEX springs are harder, and are lower, so dont have much travel in them.
You mate is, correct, but its every car not just clios.(onless you start going into leaf spring setups etc)

Just a set of apex springs if you want to lower it (approx 90quid plus fitting) but this will give a hard ride.
A good set of coilovers, which will mean that the springs and the dampers are changed, will set you back at least 600quid, but shouldnt be as harsh a ride, and will handle better.
Id just get the springs, get them fitted, and see how you like it. Can always sell em easily if you dont and swap it back.

Anyway back on topic,
I had some eibach prolines on my 172 and couldnt fault them however if its the lowered look you want a wouldnt recommend as only drops about 10mm

The shorter the spring, the less travel, and consequently the dampers can't do their job.
The Eibach has a progressive spring rate, so it is softer and hardens up depending on compression. That is a compromise for track driving, where you should have a linear spring (Apex) which has the same rate regardless. The Apex probably has the same spring rate as the Eibach does at 3/4 compression, and hence the poor ride (together with compromised damping).

Roy, I've got Sportlines on my 182 Cup, only drops the car 20mm and to be honest it's probably not even that - but they are great springs, so much better than the Cup springs.
Buy 'em mate!

I'm not gonna lower unless it's at least 40mm, and I don't really fancy spunking £800+ on coilovers, so surely Apex is my only sensible choice short term? If I like the drop but the ride is too harsh then I an always add H+Rs at a later date?
All opinions welcome though obviously. You guys have experiences so I cant argue with them

Sportlines offer the greater drop around 25mm on a car with cup packs, 35mm withoutPeperami said:
Prolines around 10mm with cup packs, maybe 20mm without.
I've heard good things about the prolines, but wanted more of a drop without compromising handling so went for the sportlines and they haven't disappointed me.
