Hello,

Now there's lots I don't know about Renaults... tbh I know nothing.

I've been a ford and VW man for the last few years but I'm getting a Y reg 1.2 clio for free with nothing but an idle problem.

Now I want to lower it, around 100-120mm, I like low cars. really low.

I'm on lots of forums and I know its really annoying when a noob turns up and asks questions they could search for that have been asked a thousand times before.

My question is, is lowering it easy? I've seen a thread about 50mm-52mm hub changes etc? Cant I just buy some coils that are capable of going that low without changing the hubs? Also if I were to lower it said 120mm, do you think 15's would sit right in the arches?

Thanks for your time. I'm happy with you to reply with links... I have searched but maybe I'm not doing it right because I'm not getting the answers I'm looking for.

But essentially yea pick some coilovers and go crazy.

120mm is crazy low and will take a s**t load of work not just coilys i should imagine.

If you've got an 8valve which i guess you have you have a 52mm bolt spacing. so would need the vmaxx ones go to ktech

If you've got a 16valve its probably a 58mm bolt spacing so you could get away with using Ta technics/rokkor coilovers (all the same) which are cheaper.

Changing front hub and such isn't too bigger deal i dont think. im doing the same conversion when funds allow me.
