Hey folks, total newbie to modding cars, im wanting to lower my clio mk3 dont want it too low though due to the hundreds of bloody speed bumps were i live, whats the best way of doing it and the most/least could be lowered?

cheers

Lowering a car is a personal taste thingy. If you can get sportline springs (eibach) for your car then do that.

I did mine by 30mm. Swapped springs and dampers. I wouldnt go any lower on a road car. I just scrape the odd high speedbump occasionally and the ride is pretty bumpy

Not too difficult to swap either

Coilovers are probably the best way as you can raise/lower the height to suit your needs. Obviously, these are going to be a little more expensive than a set of springs, but worth it IME.

I lowerd mine 45mil on h&rs and it did the job could go lower but it's not practice and coils are a stupid price at 500+
