mk3 lowered 45mm Woohoo!

[Dyno]

I'm happy with it, alot better imo, doesn't feel much different but handles a bit better. 45mm H&R Springs.

For before pics just search my posts... Big improvement.

Still considering new wheels. Anyone think they look any better now?

 

[cafcross]

should've gone -60mm imo

looks much better though, wheels suit it better too now its lowered

 

[Ben.]

sooo much better

 

[Dyno]

yeah still defo want new wheels though, something with a thicker tyre and multispokes... any ideas?

 

[whatisjustis]

^ what about a set of Team Dynamics 'something or others'?

 

[daydotz]

what happend to the std wheels

 

[Dyno]

they were the 15" crap ones, the ones that look like little star fish...

I also think they suit big chunky wheels, just had a change of taste, i've maybe matured a bit since joining here lolol

 

[willynwilson]

willynwilson orders 45mm H&R springs!

just the height needed, get mine soon lol!

 

[BioHzrd]

Should have went further Imo still dosnt look its best, congrats thoug mate

 

[Dyno]

It doesnt look it's best because the wheels are terrible, I don't know what I was thinking, anyone recommend any? multispokes preferrably, reasonably well priced? I'm also going to get thicker tyres to fill it a bit more.

 

[Leeshez]

not bad

 

[BioHzrd]

OZ Turismos i think there called google it

 

[Swift]

Nice. that's how they should make them standard not 6ft up in the air.

 

[R1XPH]

Does look really nice on 45 hope 30 will be ok lol

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks better that, new wheels FTFW though.

defo mate, just really skint just now...

 

[Android]

They wheels dont look too bad on it to be honest.
In the first pic they look good.

Still get new ones.
They look slightly cheap

 

[Dyno]

i know, i got those back when i thought lexus lights were smart..aha

 

[Dyno]

The wheels were bothering me so much I just stuck the original ones on for the time being... improvement? lol

 

[Christopher]

Nice drop

 

[Hazza]

I think standard wheels look far lot better than what u changed them with!

Stick to these for the time being imo.

As said by Christopher, its a nice drop, very subtle, but yet effective.

Yeah i'm starting to think 16"s with a thick tyre are better than 17"s with a low profile...



I don't really like these one's though, pretty small alloys and sort of look like little starfish, if it were the canasta's id keep them, but i'm going to get a set of OZ superturismo, just having a think about which size to go for... what u think? 17"s with a thickish tyre?


If i got 17"'s what would be the thickest tire i could get that wouldnt rub but would fill the arches better...

 

[Christopher]

17's with a 45-profile tyre. Same as the 197

 

[Dyno]

215/45/R17?

 

[Christopher]

Either 205's or 215's yeah... depending on the width of the rim

 

[Dyno]

i dont really understand tyre sizes etc i know the R17 is obviously the alloy size but what is the 215/45 part? The tyres I had originally as you see on those crap 17"s in the first pics are 205/40/R17, and i think they're too thin... I just checked, the RS ones are 215/45/R17 would that even be much of a difference?

 

[Christopher]

215/45 R17

215 - The tyre's width in millimetres

45 - The aspect ratio in % (sidewall height divided by tyre width)

R means Radial - It's the construction of the tyre.

17 - The rim diameter.

lookin fine where you get the h+r springs from did they list set for mk2?

Eurocarperformance, took afew weeks to arrive, but they explained they had to order them from germany. couldn't tell you mate was just shoppin for mk3.

 

[Scottydog]

nice drop! i'm def gonna lower mine sometime. it looks so much better :approve:

 

[Iridium]

Turinis look good on K-Tecs 197 - maybe worth a look?

Or Superleggeras - they're a nice wheel.

 

[Dyno]

I think i'm going for the Superturismos, just not sure weather i should go 17, or 16 with a thicker tyre.

 

[Iridium]

My 197 is on 17s - 215/45/17 - K-Tecs is on 18s and looks awesome IMHO - http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2386&pic=3 - but they're a different offset and things I think so I dunno how you'd go for fitting, and they're 5 stud, I dunno if they fit yours either hehe

 

[daydotz]

does look alot better

 

[Iridium]

^^

Agreed. Chuck those old wheels on eBay though - you'll make a good few quid for them

Dan

 

[Dyno]

might do... so what do you 2 think? 16" or 17" Oz Superturismos?

 

[Dyno]

i think the old ones are too damaged for ebay lol

 

[BioHzrd]

Its your own personal preff mate really up to you id say sitck with the 16s and low pros

 

[hamel6774]

Really nice drop, very impressed, i've got the same clio and im looking at dropping mine aswell, would be able to tell me where you got springs from or if you've used a full coil-over kit etc etc

 

[BioHzrd]

4 Year old bump...nice !
