just have springs if your only gonna go up to 40mm drop - after that shocks etc would be best uprated as well.

Ive got 35mm Ultimate springs on my clio - work a treat

nice one thanks for getting back to me on this,

do you know if it will put my insurance up?

my options are either put 17" on and pay the £120 extra on the isurance or do drop the car and paint the origional wheels black.

thanks

also are these easy to fit or would i need help from a pro?

Insurance would go up, yes. That is of ocurse if you declare them...

As for fitting, they arent hard to fit, just require you to have the right tools and knowledge. There is a guide on how to do it knocking around somewhere. Best bet would be to get a garage to do it though.

lower it mate, will enjoy your car more.

i need to put my original springs back on my car next week!

how much harder will it make my car? i just spoke to a mecanic and he said its a bad move :S cause i will feel every bump loads more.

is this just his opinion or does every one that has them feel the same?

It will make the ride harder without a doubt. The best spring to go for would be the eiback sportline. Would drop it 35mm and will improve the handling.

35mm springs wont make it much harder.

35mm looks good, but when driving got u feel every bump, its a pain but it gives u the sporty look on your car tho
