My newly lowered baby *PICS*

[Sawa]

Just like to say a big thank you to everyone that helped me make the decision to do this and as promised here are the before and after pics!

An even bigger thank you has to go to David and his team @ KTEC, for doing it for me it looks wicked, and you know I will be back!!!!

[Sawa]

Take a closer look it actually looks a lot lower to me considering its only 30mm and it ahsnt settled yet. Look at the skirt on the first pic and then on the second, theres hardly any slope now, looks lots better!

Your obviously not looking!!

 

[Ian_182]

theres a two for one sale at vision express rob

 

[Sawa]

dont you mean that he should have gone to specsavers ?!?!?

What Springs have you used. Looks good. What does the ride feel like???? Im undecided as to what drop to go for.

 

[KDF]

mmm.. time to get mine lowered me thinks.. 30mm should just be a nice drop..

how much did it set you back if you dont mind me asking ?

 

[Sawa]

got the KTR ones - http://www.k-tecracing.co.ukwww.k-tecracing.co.uk - they were £79 + vat. According to David, she has dropped 25mm (but if my insurance co is looking - its only 20mm )

Ride is good but then again Im not driving around on a broken spring anymore so should feel better - have got to go over loads of speed bumps to get out of work tonight so that will be the big test!!!!

 

[KDF]

Let me know how you get on with the speed bumps.. I am really considering this now..

Whats the ride quality like, obviously I am expecting it to be a bit harder but is the handling and body roll a lot better..

And for the mechanics on here how easy a job is it to fit and adjust the torsion bar ? would I be best off putting it in to get done as K-tec isnt exactly local.

 

[Ian_182]

does anyone know who does a 20mm drop and how much???

 

[JillyB]

It looks lovely Sawa, and the difference is quite obvious

 

[Adams_16v]

looks good. much better than before but why not go one further than fred and add another 100mm drop onto it

The torsion bar is particularly easy as it doesnt exist Clio 2s have springs all round, so you just fit the springs, re-do the wheel alignment and youre done.

I got mine fitted at a local garage they charged £45 I think.

 

[Sawa]

Thanks for all the nice comments - I am such a happy bunny today!!!!

lol @ Adams-16v!!

_KDF - will keep you and everyone else posted!

Sawa
