Lowering opinion / wheel question?

[Fordy101]

Hey guys thinking of getting my 182 lowered found a set of springs on the k-tec website that will lower the car by 30mm. Do you think this is to much and will give me little ground clearence? :S

AAAlllsooo you know where i can get my hands on a pair of cup anthracite wheels. As my 182 has not been cupped :'(

Springs will be fine, no problem at all.

Just pay £40 (ish) per wheel and get them refurbished in Anthracite.

Any decent bodyshop. You should pay no more than £45 a wheel though (providing your wheels are not battered and square! lol) and some will only charge as little as £25 a wheel. You tend to get what you pay for tbh.

Hey just looking at prices for the Eibach after a few searches ive found this website

http://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-...ine-springs-renault-clio-mk2-all-exc-813.html

On there though it says it lowers the ride hight by 45-50 mm :S

Are these the same springs that K-tec are selling that claim it will only lower the car by 30mm?

Marketing b****cks mate. 25-30 mm is the going eibach rate tbh.

ahhh rite phew i assumed it was because the non RS models sit higher so im guessing would lower alot more. As a 182 non cup'd is lowered already then it will only lower slightly less than the rest
