Lowering Springs 60MM

[gura]

I own a MK2 PH2 Clio, looking to lower it with springs for now with 60mm ones, any in particular that i should go for?

 

[skinz]

uprated shocks and springs for drops that low, 30-40 on standard shocks

Ive got FK, cheap as chips for half decent quality

This. Got some springs and shocks for around 60-70 pound, not too bad either

 

[Loz H]

yeah man £16 for both rear dampers, £40 for both front shocks, £80 for a set of springs. The car handles so much better now and sits perfectly.

Where did you get rhose from.

These are for a mk2 non sport with a 58mm bolt spacing btw

 

[Stu172cup]

C**k-stick and the front are on offer for 11 quid

May have to fine some elsewhere. Want something up rated that I can be used on track but
Then non adjustable so I cant go messing with settings and ruin the handling of the thing

 

[Loz H]

haha wouldnt expect these to be any good on a track anyway, cheap for lows lol

 

[Stu172cup]

To be fair I think personally people over think or are over sold what they need for a simple cheap
Trackday toy. Multi height adjustable with 3 way shocks then most people wind them all the way down and fully hard with
No clue

 

[belly118]

When i got them 8 quid each for shocks and then 40 quid for the springs

these lowering springs ? they seem too cheap..am i looking at the right thing lol

with the front and rear shocks that jackdanielsmom linked.

 

[belly118]

Those ones dont state a drop, so think they might just be replacement ones.

I got these ones, but were only 40 quid a few months ago, allthough it says 60/40 it seems pretty even

[gura]

thanks belly, and you'd say the ride was ok? worse than the standard springs? its mainly for the drop but ive heard TA Technix coilovers make the ride very hard, haven't heard much about lowering springs if it makes it better/worse

 

[belly118]

Not much worse than standard, wouldnt say it was harsh at all. Maybe a little bouncy though...

 

[gura]

how much did it cost you guys to get them fitted?

 

[belly118]

Its free if you do it yourself

 

[Loz H]

The ride is noticeably harder, and the car feels alot firmer.

A lad who i knew, used to work for renault, he changed mine for £60 iirc but i reckon i could of done it myself afterwards. fairly straightforward, just gotta remember how the shocks go back together & fit to the car etc. and ofcourse make sure you have the right tools & space to do it

Does anyone know if these will fit a 182 Ph2 2005? IIRC arent the 182 p2's 58mm? Seems a bargain at 11 quid!

Cheers

 

[Loz H]

best way to find out would be to take a wheel off and quickly measure your bolt spacing. mine was 58mm but im rocking a 1.2 haha

 

[myles841]

Good idea, literally only had my 182 a month so I'm a bit of a noob lol

 

[Loz H]

haha never a bad thing dude, gotta start somewhere! i still know f**k all about mine

Are they the pair or do you have to buy them twice? That website is s**t, it doesn't say, but it is cheap.

It does say mate next to the pick, 'packed in 1'

Yeah they are cheap man, got em for mine!

haha yep says packed in one, still could be 1 shock or the pair, dunno if it's just me being stupid or what...

http://www.carparts-tuning.co.uk/Su...High-Tec-fit-for-Renault-Clio-B-B-tuning.html they say packed in 1 too yet they're all 4 springs

haha too true! but yeah they sell those as single shocks, the springs are a set of for (2 back, 2 front)

 

[Timmsy]

I think the "packed in 1" refers to delivery of more than 1 item

Hover over the ? and it says "Buy more items and pay the same shipping costs! Order now and save more"
