Lowering

[nick172sport]

Ok, i may just be being really stupid here, but how do u lower my Clio?

Its a 1998 model.

I had the rear wheel off and there's no spring, Just a damper at a 45degree angle.

Not this?

If so then its a torsion bar and damper at the back and springs and dampers at the fornt. if you want to lower it you need new springs and someone to adjust the rear torsion beam.

I'd definatly recomend you change the dampers though as well.

Cheers for moving it.

This is it:

How hard is it to adjust the rear torsion beam?

Ive seen the spring sets for £44, but how much will it be to slam the rear too?

Thanks

There's a guide in the ClioSport Articles section on how to lower the torsion bar..

its very easy to do if you have the right tools....you need either a 6mm or 8mm threaded rod hammer to knock them out...

you would be better off putting alloys (a nice set, the wheels on it look like the standards)) on first before lowering it....
