Lowering

[buffaloboy2004]

Hello peoples!

Quick question about Lowering Springs! I have an 04 reg Clio 16V dynamique, 1.2! I am currently in the process of buying some and was wondering about a few of the things which i might need to concider. For Example,

1. How many springs do i need?

2. Whats the best amount to drop it by?

3. Whats the best make?

4. Any recommendations for getting it fitted? (Live down south near croydon).

Thanks,

Any comments will be much appriciated......

1. 4
2. 40mm / 60mm. 40mm on standard shocks (i.e. just springs) or you can get 60mm kits with uprated shocks & springs.
3. Apex / Eibach IMO
4. Do it yourself!

Do a search on here as well mate - theres loads of options really. It comes down to looks/ride quality and how much you want to spend.

4 springs... which come together, you rarely buy them seperately.

Drop it 60mm, anything less just isnt worth it imo. Although on standard 15s itll sit pretty low - bad if you live where i live, otherwise its fine.

Apex are probably the best 60mm springs youll get. Otherwise go for eibachs (45mm/30mm) or H&Rs (30mm)

fit them yourself, not difficult at all.

Thanks for the replys. I will take them both into concideration when choosing and fitting the springs!

after watching the springs being fitted, id have ago myself if i were you, Im glad i got fred to do mine just in case i ran into rubbing the arches problem with my wheels.

but as far as it being 6 bolts to do the frint and a couple at the rear i would say have a go at it, there are lots of cliosport members that would give you a hand probably near where you live for a beer or two....
