Mk1 Lowering

[MickM]

Looking at getting my MK1 PH3 Lowered.

Have used GAZ suspension in the past and find these to be a fairly decent budget suspension setup but I was wondering what I need for the MK1? I found a page for Renaults on the gaz site Here would the kit listed "Gfr Kit" be an ok choice for a drop of say around 30 mills. Also another reason for changing all shocks is the car is a high miler so would of thought a change would be in need?


Need help making a decision on what to do, cheers.

Don't even bother loking at Gaz stuff for Clios its all useless.

High milage yep its worth changing them but not for gaz even worn out stuff better spend some money on say Avo's etc.

Williams Clio are trying to get a group buy going for there coilovers £330 or so I think if they get enough people and there superb.

Edde’s always here with a speedy answer!

Thanks for the info, will stay away from the Gaz's then. Will have a look at Williams Clio, currently just looking at options as the car will not be on the road for a month or so. Any thoughts on the Spax kits? Or is it a case of "you get what you pay for" i.e. don't bother with £200 kits just save for kits such as the avos you mentioned?

Spax are better than Gaz but there still rubish I had t in my car its complete junk rear dampers failed all the time. I had 6 sets in as many months till I sold it on I think.

Gaz and Spax stuff not cheap but its not any good either.
