show us your mk3's

Yes I'm sure he will. Seems more like your his rear gunner if I'm honest.

Don't feel I've wasted any money and nor does any one else who has just springs fitted either from what I've seen.

I'm not wanting to get in a huge flaming debate about it because it isn't needed but if people want springs, they're going to buy them. Could it just be that some people want only slightly stiffer handling and a better OEM look as opposed to slammed impracticality?

I love my Eibach springs. They're comfy and the handling was much improved. IIRC I was the first person to put mine on Pro-lines (35mm) a couple of years back and I haven't wanted to change yet.

Found a website selling them for £135 inc. P&P, might make the plunge today...just need to see if they're in stock!

fair enough it may just not be my taste, id rather have it slammed as u say. but coilovers dont make it impractical? i drive mine everyday and not a problem. ride quality is comfortable enough for me and handling is great.

P.S Irish guy...I love your install! Very classy.

cheers

 

[BioHzrd]

coilovers is the only way to lower a mk3!

even with weitecs mine dont go low enough at back...

You my friend talk sense

Still an incredibly narrow minded CS'esque statement that.

You, well you just moan about everything......

 

[mikey123]

AMEN!

PMSL, Based on what? Just because I'm the only one to voice an opinion against you and not jump on your band wagon.

How much adjustment do you have with the Weitecs?

 

[jenic]

After owning both coilovers and springs on my previous cars i wouldn't go coilovers again. The extra they lower is not practical, and the cost is too much for me to justify again.

Dynamique SX

Lowered 30mm, 20mm spacers and RS grille:

What engine is in this, presume its a 1.6 since its been on track?

 

[theduck]

1.2 TCE iirc

also biohzrd .... did u have your adjusters in with your custom springs?

 

[BioHzrd]

yes i did but they were wound right down couls have taken them out n just left the platform without the runner

 

[PaulBag]

yes i did but they were wound right down couls have taken them out n just left the platform without the runner

i'm still running the original weitec springs without the adjusters... need to get the customs ordered!

[Liquid yellow 182]

I'm glad I got springs personally because the body kit would be hitting the ground loads if it was wound down on coils. Yes the look does look amazing on coils and handing would be way better but i'm happy with my eibach's and glad I didn't spend an extra £400 for them to. Personal opinion I think.

what body kit do you have?:S i have the tce kit and i've only ever caught it once and that was because of roadworks that were not signposted.

 

[mark1989]

[greglesueur]

:dead:

 

[PaulBag]

i am trying to decide wether i like the spoiler on the 197s or not. looks cleaner without the spoiler IMO.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

you want to get a 200 cup spoiler

 

[theduck]

197s look w**k without the cup spoiler imo

 

[BIFCAIDS]

is the 200 cup spoiler the subtle one???

 

[PaulBag]

+1

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Yes it is googles my friend

 

[EllD90]

This is the nicest spoiler: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1936

But f*ck paying £180 plus spraying/fitting for it!

 

[PaulBag]

Elld90 what all have you done to your clio m8?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

buy it your self then have it sprayed or spray it your self (doing a decent job isnt hard) then fitting piece of piss k-tec are a rip off

 

[mark1989]

197s look w**k without the cup spoiler imo

+1 wouldnt have bought mine if it didnt have it on! they look far beter in the flesh than in pics

 

[EllD90]

Elld90 what all have you done to your clio m8?

Front tints to match the rears, colour coded, debadged rear, silvertec bulbs, RS mats and a sound system.

Ordered some Eibach springs, so they'll be on by the end of the month.

I'm an estate agent so can't heavily modify the car(not that I want to), and it needs to be practical for all the 100s of speedbumps in the area.

Looking to do a remap/panel filter next year when K-Tec bring their map out. Also probs transfer my number plate next year too, will possibly spray the wheels anthracite as they've had a sh*t refurb in the past. Thought about a spoiler but can't justify the cost for the one I want.
