[Graanty94]

I’ve got a clio van 1.2 I’m planning to deck it anybody know where I can get cheap coilovers from or some decent springs from that drive fine

Idea’s???

Mk2Clio sport springs will go straight on and always loads of sets for sale cheap. Avoid apex if you want a decent ride, eibach sportline are decent for road use.

About 55-57mm iirc

About 55-57mm iirc

Then its almost the same not much weight difference

Yeah no a massive amount in it. My brothers 1.2 lowered about 38mm on 40mm springs

No worries, as @Brigsy said, the eibach branded stuff is good. Pro-line are a bit stiff but the sport-line are good and not awful on your back

Just Apex/Amex are awful, I have them on my dCi and it’s like driving round on failed shockers![emoji23]
