Lowest Non RS Mk3 ???



  MK3 D.Sport, 2.0 HDI Van
bio and daydotz, the k-tec springs wont drop the car as much as the h and r's the h and r's are a 45mm drop the k-tec ones are only 30mm. on a car the standard high of ours i would say f**k it and pay the extra £50 and get decent springs with a nice ride height

He aint doing it ne more by the looks of it as he dosnt want to void his warrenty
 
i was thinking the springs will give me the results i wanted for not much money as a happy medium a drop of 30mm would tidy up the handleing an fill the arches a bit an it wont be low enough to give me any problems or will it not be noticable :S

um

as ive sort of decided to do it

well i basically like bio said f**k it to the warrently, its up in jan anyway and any major issues i would have the old springs put bk on before it went in to the renualt garage.
as lemon states it really only affects suspension related issues, if you know a bit about cars you would prob be able to brag the warrenty anyways, basically agrue with them that what ever is wrong wouldnt be affected by the mods you have made.
Renault service i have encounted is crap anyhow, for example my local garage wanted to void my warrenty when i had issues with the exhaust they fitted before it left the show room! all because they couldnt be arse to refit it!

Here. If Renault thought the Trophy handled better with parrellel sills i'm sure they would have lowered the rear. Instead, they lowered the Trophy 10mm MORE at the front over a 182 Cup. The rear stayed the same.........

Imo it feels better nose down, the rear feels more playful, turn in sharper. I dont want it too look like some chav Saxo, with its arse dragging down the road. ;)

that just looks dam stupid.

when using it for fast road use, you dont need it to be track spec for handling, as you shouldnt be pushing it that hard tbh.

paralel sills is what its all about, on the deck :O :O

yeah, you're right... lol

how does it look stupid?

and surely if you were right, the Trophy (one of the best-handling FWD cars ever) would be as you describe!

Not denying that, but nose down !? hmmm, not my cuppa tea to look at. but lowering it a lot and evening it out will not drastically ruin the handling, it will still handle spot on, just not as good as a nose diving trophy.

Personaly i would comprimise for the amazing looks, unless you push every corner to the limits on your daily run to the supermarket :S
