My MK3 Clio - finally lowered!

[EllD90]

I managed to do the rears myself, didn't attempt the fronts cos I was going to do it on Saturday with Trax on Sunday.

Rear down:

All done:

One from Trax:

I know its not low but the Eibach's ride really well and it's no more an offensive height. I'm really happy with it!

 

[braderz1]

nice job mate looks good.

 

[sofaboy]

Lowering mk3's ftl!!!!

Looks good pal (Y)

 

[daydotz]

how much did you lower it by does it handle better never saw your car at trax

 

[VIICarCare]

looks good mate, now get that marring sorted out!

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

Thats smart i like that

 

[rankins]

how much lower did you go mate i went down the 45mm h&rs route and ride was affected badddddd

 

[ekaJ]

Looks good, I thought i recognized your numberplate yesterday!

I was with my mate in his yellow punto infront of you

 

[EllD90]

daydotz - It's lowered 30mm on Eibach springs. I was hidden away with the Punto stand, it was a last minute decision me going and I've got a few mates from when I had the Punto. Haven't properly tested the handling, but it seems good. Need to take my car back to the garage to get the tracking re-done.

magpie - I know it needs sorting desperately! Fancy PM'ing me a price for correction?

Rankins - my ride is definitely stiffer, but only slightly and it's not uncomfortable whatsoever. I just have to go slower over speed bumps - would definitely reccommend them. Bought from K-Tec.

Hi Jake - thanks Was a good day!

 

[mat-nos]

[BIFCAIDS]

[Alastair.]

looks better, marring isnt a good look in the first pic

 

[Ben]

Much better, liking the pressed plates too.

 

[EllD90]

Yep I know it needs a good machine polish, may get someone to do it. Or may set aside some time to do it myself. I've got all the gear, it's just finding the time!

Another pic from Trax:

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice indeed.

 

[Nickj01]

I really like the new look! What size wheels do you have on it? I am looking to lower my Clio too just doing a bit of research first, the Eibach Pro-Kit are looking like a very good choice of lowering springs for what I am looking for.

This thread is 5 years old...

Pretty sure the guy has a mini now

 

[Nickj01]

I'm pretty sure they are 16's anyway.

Thanks for your constructive help though captain obvious!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

The height they should have been from the factory.

 

[Martin_172]

I know this thread is way old now but has anyone seen any lowering springs or coilovers for the Mk3 GT?

Is the GT 4 stud like the non sports?

Yes 4 stud bolt pattern, I just can't seem to find any around!

Would they not be the same as the non sports then? Coilovers I mean?

I have AP's on mine. Got those from Larkspeed

I have no idea! Was hoping to find someone with a GT who's done this! Do you have a photo of the car now?

This is mine on those coilovers and rocking nervasport alloys - 17"

Looks good, are the coilovers set as low as they go? What's the ride like? Mine is already super stiff on 17s:weary:

They'll go lower. I've not slammed it as the ride is harsh on the 17's and I wanted to retain suspension travel for our horrible roads, and for using it on track.

Yeah tell me about it! Roads are awful which is a shame really for all drivers. Thanks for the info I'll definitely look into getting some!
