Sportlines fitted- not overly impressed:-(

[seanybaby1788]

Had these fitted today and i can barely tell the difference. Looks like its dropped it about 1cm front and barely that on the back. Do these take a while to 'bed' in? Dont think it was lowered before. Will get some pics up when it brightens up.

Yeah give it about a week while it settles down and you should notice more of a drop

 

[JackJack]

Yes they do need time to settle. They don't lower as much as other springs but are better in terms of ride quality and handling.

You shouldn't be buying them if you want the car to look 'slammed'. They are predominantly a handling spring not a lowering spring.

You didnt buy these for a slammed look did you?!

I remember getting these on the Cup.....barely made a difference to ride hight but was a huge improvment in stability especially with the rear imo

Not atall, done my research. Wanted a subtle drop, too many speedhumps! But expected to notice a fair difference. My old paxo was lowered 50mm and it was night and day. Ive seen pics of other clios on these and the change looks more noticeable. Hopefully it will drop a wee bit more then. Can definately feel the improvement in handling, less bodyroll. Maybe i should take it for a spirited drive over some potholes?

 

[JackJack]

No don't do that just give them time.

50mm is a noticable drop, sportlines will probably only give 20-30mm

Just be aware that sportlines will eat standard dampers. My Cup managed two rears and both fronts in a little under two years.
