lowering my clio mk1?

[samg1988]

i want my clio proper lowered on 15" wheels. whats the lowest i can get it whilst still safe. (5dr mind).

i was thinking 35 at the from and 50 at the back. is this complicated to do or more expensive than getting the same all round?

where should i get shox and springs from?

thankyou for all ur jolly help people.

I would get the same on the front and back other wise it will just look like you have dead bodies in the boot. Think someone on here is selling shocks for bout 100, bargain if you ask me!

do i actually need the shocks?

apparently i onlly need springs to lower it. im still kinda worried about safety though.

what do you rekon?

I went for springs and shocks just because your oringal dampers will die in no time at all if you go lower than 40mm ish (thats what i read on CS anyways!)

40mm on standard shocks is fine - I've done 31K since - still passed first MOT
