Lowering

[George16v]

Guys I think at the mo. My car is lowered 45mm on 17shttp://www.boltlightning.co.uk/lemanstrip/images/Y1163.jpg

I say I think because it was already lowered when I bought the car. But I want to go lower. Anyone know how low I can safely go with 17s without knackering the shocks/struts and where I can get the springs from

mate why do u wanna go any lower? looks like a 60mm drop to me at mo...

Ye has to be said that its looking about the perfect ride height just now.

Cant help thinking the front looks a little small though and lower than the back too

Get them side plastic strips colour coded!

 

[George16v]

Am in the process matey. Have put on the mk2 side strips and am waiting for the front badges to arrive. Then will be painting them

Some H&R colovers will get you lower than that but think it´s looks nice. The Clio looks best when it´s "nose down" and not dragging the rear........

 

[George16v]

Will leave it for the mo. then I think maybe get some better springs down the line

ooo good work, will need to c a pic when uve got it all sorted out. You think youll have it sorted by heathrow? Should be cool

George, mate..... dont do it ! The car is looking perfect at the moment ! The ride height is just right IMHO.

That might be because the arch top heights are diff from front to rear.
