The whole idea of fitting the Eibach springs was to improve the handling - the fact that the car ended up lower was just a bonus. The Eibachs improve the handling a lot, and without compromising the ride quality. Theres less body-roll and the car is much more composed over bumpy bits. A really good mod for not much money.

[jonnyboy]

any of you guys lowered your car whilst its under waranty? What have renault said if theyve seen it?

 

[Dash]

I had my 172 lowered on Eibachs. My dealer said " You know we wont be able to fix it under warranty now"

I just said "You couldnt fix it warranty or not"

reno dealer - that looks much better like that, how much have you lowered it? and why didnt reno sell them like that??

also said that any suspension claims would be invalidated as lowering it would put more stress on the standard parts

 

[ClioJohn]

hehe i lowered mine under warranty and they havent said a word. but i know if there is anything wrong with shocks etc they wont replace them...infact they will cause ill put the old springs back on

Renault dealer: (standing admiring lowered and Magnexd 4 month old car) That looks great, I wish we could offer that stuff as accessories.

Never had a problem with a warranty job. Just make sure that your mods carry a warranty thats as good or better than the Renault one. So Eibach (and most other) springs usually have a 100,000km warranty or something like that. Zorsts normally lifetime.

Mine is about 40mm (im told)

to be updated thursday hopefully when I get my 17s fitted.

 

[The Monk]

Gilly one thing you have to remember is 172 are 10 to 20mm lower than your 1.2 16v, so -40mm springs on a 172 are more like -50/60mm on yours, if you want to retain some ride comfort then -40mm should be your choice, or if you bother more about looks then -60mm

 

[Gilly]

how much lower is ures noel?

 

[Clio_007]

sorry for the delay replying Gilly,they are wolfrace spirit 17s on my car

 

[Louise]

hmm these look cool. Its one thing I may consider doing to my Dynamique to improver the handling slightly...

 

[Gilly]

cheers for the pics, whats the best make to go for?

 

[R3OBC]

Gilly, mine is lowered 40mm on Apex springs, Rob

60 mil Pi springs the only way to go!

im trying to, but i need to sell my amp before i can do it

 

[DynamiqueDick]

Bam Bam did i read before that you have gained 10 bhp form exhaust and filter?

 

[Bryan]

exact results were 14.3bhp (57.9bhp to 72.2bhp @ wheels)

but im not very confident about wilcox engineerings rolling road, they seemed VERY generous

would be more like 8 or 9bhp

 

[DynamiqueDick]

what zausht / filter have u got?

 

[Bryan]

when it was rrd it had piperx vector filter with full ktr 6x3 zorst

now have piperx s-spec filter, car feels quicker than with the vector

 

[R3OBC]

DynamiqueD.........60mm looks low.......but looks a bit much with the standard wheels..........would be ok with bigger wheels tho!! BamBam, im still waiting for my exhaust, i really dont intend on gettin an induction kit, as i aint too convinced about messing up the fueling air mix etc, but sounds like it gives quite good gains!! Rob

 

[R3OBC]

<---------- someone having a laugh????? i drive a Reliant Robin????? lol

 

[Bryan]

ive only really got mine for pose value, i have no doubt in the summer that a sealed airbox with performance filter will be much better for performance, but then again its a 1.1 so who cares about performance

may i recommend sound deadening the whole of your car when you fit the ktr exhaust, theyre bloody loud

60mm is the only way forward with clios IMO

 

[R3OBC]

......safe to say it will sound a bit louder and less tinny than standard then???? LOL
