[Eddieb]

check my website out http://www.crash-ed.co.ukwww.crash-ed.co.uk

clicl on clio. Mine is lowered 40mm on 17s. I cant get the pics to load for some reason!

i had a mrk 2 on 17s lowered 60. i had no problems even with a full load and it looked so much better than the 35 drop i had on it to start.

must admit i was a touch uncomfy and could get a little scary if a corner had a bump on it.

i will try and dig out some photos

Yeah mine is very skittish! Been a few times where Ive nearly lost it going down country roads after hitting some sh1tty bit of road. I can safely say ill neva lower a car and put aftermarket bigger alloys on a car again!

 

[Dan Page]

theres no point in thirty mm, go for 60 at least imo!

 

[Clarkie172]

get coilovers! if not, do it 60mm! http://photobucket.com/albums/y18/Clarkie172/?action=view&current=CIMG0760.jpghttp://photobucket.com/albums/y18/Clarkie172/?action=view&current=CIMG0760.jpg

this is what my car looked like when i bought it.

17s with a 40mm drop.

It handled like crap and was a pig to drive(tramlined under load, skittish as hell) and it looked like a tractor.

If your going to have 17s Coilovers are recommended, Eh Paul?...

How it was...

Mines lowered 60mm on 18s soo 17s down 60mm shouldnt be a problem
