I want to lower my 1992 1.2 RL, What is the reccomende height to drop the car by? I was thinking 40mm? Also what are the best springs to use when you're on a budget?!

Thanks in advance

Yeah dont go any lower than - 40 mm . Just buy some springh like Pi or Apex for about £ 100 job done .

Got 55mm springs on mine perfect look!! Got it done at k-tec but they can provide springs for 60 I think

 

[mr bognor]

Is that with up rated shocks tho AJ ??

"Dont go lower than 40" ? ...wimps! -60mm all the way! (well, without going into stupid-money coilover territory)

No, didnt have enough money when I got it done. Been fine since (touch wood), Doing a valver conversion then putting coilovers on. Go 55mm is gives a perfect stance

 

[Akira2506]

There's easily 5mm to spare there! I'd have a -75mm kit if it existed. I measured, and for my clio, -75mm would be jusssssssst right.

If your gona do it, do it properly, -60mm or more lol

 

[ajketley]

Yeh but there is too many speed humps around my way :rasp: I dont like too low. The rear is just right, maybe a bit lower on the front though. Go 55mm though because wont put too much strain on your existing shocks, especially if your on a budget!

 

[V1NNY]

are you on a 55mm drop?

 

[ajketley]

Yep

 

[V1NNY]

have you changed your shocks too? also where did you get a -55mm kit springs

 

[ajketley]

Standard shocks until I do the 16v conversion. I got the spring kit from k-tec
