Springs £140 FTW and Coilovers £650 FTL.
Sort of speaks for itself, I'm not on a CS wage either lol.
I think 45mm should look goods, might consider coilovers in the future depending how low it goes on springs.

Why do the job twice mate way i looked at it.....Why spend the £140 on springs then add the fitting say £200 all in all then a couple months down the line maybe get coils and spend another £650 on them....Save and do it right first time imo !!!

i agree. as stupidly expensive as coilovers are, there designed to work together. just fitting springs will put a strange damper spring rate combo and more preasure on the stock shock absorbers (not renaults strong point in the past on clios)
although there mega expensive @ £800 the H&R will go a full 60mm/70mm not the lowest compared to the weitek but id think the H&R would be balanced for ride comfort where are the weitek maybe cheap euro coils made for the hardest ride on smooth european tarmac.
that said, a clio 138 shares most things in common with the 197 chassis wise and id expect some H&R`s with 20mm spacers and perhaps a decent 17" 197 alloys to handle pretty s**t hot m8 i.e not far off a cliosport and you have the added bonus with the 138 in thats its all aluminimum engine is light and hence the car is sub 1200kg compared with the 1245kg of the 197.
also
if you measure tommorow for me m8 id really appreciate to know the gap height between arch and wheel, will 40-45mm really be low enough for the rear arch to look decent ? looking at that image were only talking about 4cm off that height !
H&R will also be shortened shocks and 60mm front 70mm rear should look more like this
Well i have just received H&R springs today, so will let you no tomorrow if they fit or not.
Love the photoshop, love the wheels.
hey, had a bash at a photoshop with turnis and colour coding it, also lowering it (im guessing 70mm) also it has a short ariel hope you like.... thing is i emailed ktec and the gt coilovers dont fit the 2.0vvt and the coilovers aint out for it yet??? so as far as i no ther is no sus-kit for it?? or am i wrong?
hope u like

Hmmmm not sure i agree with that at all!!! Yes its the same shell, but the track is much wider on the 197. According to the hand book i have, a standard 2.0 clio has a track of 1,472m front, 1,450m rear. RS is 1,520m front and rear. The front end has the double axis suspension from the Meg 225, i believe the non RS Clios share a similar set up the the previous MK2 set up. Also 197 aloys wont fit due to the 5 stud fitment.......
I've just out facted Meggerman
so was that £200ish all in all? how different is it to drive lowered? anyone know how far you can lower an mk3 with the turbo body kit on?? don't think i can lower it that much or i'd risk damaging it. looking forward to buying an RS grill tho
just think if i went as low as Dave138's then my sides and front would be very very close to the grond lol....
