need pic -60mm drop clio

[yuhuang]

well would like to see a clio with a drop of 60mm on 17's if poss just tryiung to decide if it would sit ok or if i should go for coilovers??

thanks

 

[patty]

60mm would be good, however coilovers are better.... check out the gallery

 

[yuhuang]

had a quick flick through the gallery and didnt see any desc with 60mm lowerd, so was unsure weather they were on coilovers etc, got a speed bump i need to get over tho on way to work so i dont wanna go to mad anyways.

Mine is down -60mm on an APEX gas suspension kit......

 

[yuhuang]

thanks alot, yea not gunna bother with coilovers, extra money cos i wont use em, 17 fit ok on the springs? cos they have that big lip thing on the front ones.
nice cars btw, still get over speed humps or not tried?

cheers for the pics

*Edit double post

16's on 60mm. Not settled in that picture, its about another 8mm or so farther down now. No problems with speed bumps, prepare for a bit of a ........ soft ride

 

[Alan]

A few more now ^^

Go for the APEX kit mate if you value the handling and ride quality of your car, but if you want looks alone jus got for -60mm PI springs, both set ups available from www.motorsportworld.co.uk

mines fine gettin over bumps

 

[yuhuang]

even the nasty red square ones?

 

[Hotshot]

even those, i can bang em over dead centre and be fine.

even the nasty red square ones?

Yeah as long as you take it easy......my splitter catches on high kerbs and sometimes in multi-story car parks.

 

[yuhuang]

had a look on motorsport world, mines the 1.2 dynamique 16v beast., cant find any cheaper than 300, seen some on ebay 60mm drop 250+9 postage from trader

 

[yuhuang]

thats for shocks and springs, (no edit button)

i really was in two minds about dropping it. Never regretted it, i managed to get Has's old springs at a very good price and Fred did the fitting. Certainly if your changing your wheels youll want it lowered. Preferably at the same time to avoid a 4x4


***Edit: You don't need to replace the shocks only the springs on the non RS models. 60mm on a 1.216v is fine on just springs

 

[yuhuang]

just wanna make sure i can drop 60 and still get over a sqaure red hump with no catching

thats mine atm

 

[yuhuang]

wont i get a s**t ride just using springs tho?

 

[Hotshot]

i cant say mine bothers me on motorway or the windiest of lanes. All depends on where you live if im honest. Im in a decent part of the W.Mids where the roads are in pretty decent condition; if you're in pothole central your gonna feel it a wee bit more than me i suspect

 

[dutty_112]

my ride is fine, try ebay for springs

 

[yuhuang]

hmmm springs would be loads cheaper, just i thought it would be a bit crappy on just springs

 

[clio__chris]

even the nasty red square ones?

ive nearly ripped my exhaust off going over a hump before - because it was a short sharp high one and the exhaust caught on it........ was expecting a exhaust in the road looking in my rear view mirror!

normal speed bumps are fine

mine is far from low though - on fk coilovers so dont know how low exactly (on std 15s)

 

[dutty_112]

i remember seein urs ^^, u stayed in same hotel as us at RWS

 

[yuhuang]

i think if you go for shocks too they are shorter so sits a little lower, and yours is on 15's so will sit alot lower than one on 17's surley, well i hope i will be ok fitting a 60mm drop just with springs and hopefully should get over, if not then i will have to take em off lol

 

[Gareth]

ride is pretty harsh with just springs. I'll dig out some pics of my old car 60mm on 17s tonight.

Loving your new wheels dutty
