Ride Height

[Justin BBP]

I'm looking at replacing the factory 16's for 15's on my PH2 172, my question is what's the best ride height to have with them.

I was going to go for the same look as ClioDS's Black 172 which can be found here, but not sure as this is my first Clio.

can you not just experiment, see if you can match it if you have coilovers?

 

[Justin BBP]

Nah I don't have coilovers, as I'm not sure what ones to get

 

[DanEdser]

well if you want those lows, you'd be better off getting coilovers than looking at springs (if thats what your doing), you wont get the lows!

 

[Justin BBP]

Neither so far lol.

Just weighing up the options all I know so far I want to run 15's and quite low, but didn't know if there was a recommended setting used by members on here.

 

[Justin BBP]

Anyone?

 

[ekaJ]

Definitely coilovers, no springs will make it set spot on.

Then just wind em down til it looks right

 

[Justin BBP]

Are K-Tech coilovers any good?
