Sportlines fitted to the 172

Fitted my Eibach Sportlines the other day, all i can say is WOW what a difference for £150!! the ride high has a nice drop, sits the way it should have sat from factory!!

handling is nearly on par with my old coilovered car!

aye alan we'll get a wee meet arranged soon, aye yozzasport race system next a think (well once a get the damaged fixed where it got hit wi a brick!)

ride feels exactly as it was standard, if not better! but when you throw it into a bend its planted, VERY good springs!

Yozzasport race system!? Your brains will pour out your ears!

Nice one about the springs. I think im going to get them. Can you tell me how much clearance you have at the front? Interested as you know im in redneckland and I want to keep my carbon splitter. lol

yeah mate ill measure it later (keeping in mind ive not got a splitter on yet)

i like the quiet exhaust but at the same time miss my old loud 1.2 poping! just had a brand new exhaust fitted under warranty too last week :D:D

I can recommend the new K-Tec stealth. Reasonable when you want it to be but sounds great under acceleration. Passengers don't mind it either which saves muchos nagging!

Looks nice - are they these ones...

Renault Clio 172 B (BB) From :09/98>09/05, Will Fit: Clio 172
Eibach Sportline Springs
ONLY £133.57 (inc VAT)
Delivery on this item is £8.95
Lowers Front: 45-50 mm & Rear: 30 mm

I was wondering - if you fit these would the front end not sit sooooooo low because of the engine weight and make the rear end look like is jacked up? I cant afford coilovers but wanted to really drop my car...

Hi Guys,

Do you have to adjust the xenon lights after lowering with sportlines? Thats what stopping me from buying them :p

Thanks,
K.

quality! i used to have rainbow tinted halogens on my 1.2 back in the day when i'd just passed - caused a few issues.

how did it cost you to fit your springs? im thinking i might make these my first mod when pay day comes in two weeks...

ps am i also right in thinking that these arent bedded in yet as you;ve just fitted them so should drop down a bit more?

I want them! I know what you mean i'd prefer 45mm rear 30mm at front as i find the front sits lower as standard already. do they not do them this way

the xenon have auto adjusters;) but the whole car i lower (only by a very small bit as well) so wont make much/any diffrence:D

Very nice, think ill be going for a set of these next.
Wasn't happy with my car at the track yesterday and I put a lot of it down to the coilovers.
 
  Liquid 182
Nah mate but I just reckon they are shite...
Had a thread up a while back about em and most people told me they were a waste of time. I think it will be vastly improved on the standard cup pack suspension or with the eibachs added.

Better. I was impressed with those springs, better to drive than my old 172 on coils...*(On the road anyway)
