is lowering a clio mk2 60mm too much on standard shocks, or would 40 mm be better ?

 

[Sam_]

Yes. Don't go any lower than about 35mm on standard shocks

 

[ben1234]

thankyou, so i would have to buy new sohck if i lower 60mm, how much am i looking at for theses?

 

[Sam_]

Well if you shop around on eBay I got a full set of shocks and springs for 30, but new sets can go for a lot more.
If its a performance upgrade though go for coil overs, and you can go lower.

i ran my clio on standard shocks and 60mm springs for two years, had no problems, 40mm is for steers and queers

 

[ben1234]

nice 1 m8, think ill go for 60 mm, what happened after thbe 2 years though ? still no problems ?

 

[Feirny]

funny 1 geeza !

 

[ben1234]

still mixed reactions lads, will 60mm lowering kit be ok standard shock absorbers ?

 

[Rob]

Yes. Fine.

My old Clio was on 8 year old shocks when I got it, I ran it for a year, then after that two years on 60mm apex springs.

Not one problem.

[ben1234]

[Rob]

Very easy mate, very easy indeed.

Think there's a guide on here for full paying members.

 

[ben1234]

[sbridgey]

[Gavin.]

I went for 40mm and wish i had gone more. Its just not worth it with all the speed bumps round here though

 

[ben1234]
