Monaco 53/468
I lowered mine last weekend, didn't read through the thread and realised afterwards that you can't slide the seat! DOH!
So I took the seat back out and put the front spacer thingys back in and left the rears out
Now the seat slides back and forth, I sit lower down and Ive got some support behind my knees! Sorted!
Oh and its a deep drive 13mm that you'll need

dont have axel stands. Will my standard jack do? Once the seat is out put the car back down, get the rubber bits out, put the seat back in, jack it back up to do the bolts up...
Is it just a case of taking the rubber bits out which lowers it the 15mm or watever?
i wouldnt trust the jack alone if i was gettin under the car, if it fails your dead basically.
post a thread in the wanted section see if anyone near you has some you can borrow.
or you can buy em cheap enough, come in handy in the future if you wanna lower your car or whatever.

how much are they roughly?
does the seat actually have to come out? Also, do i need anything to replace what im taking out?
well you un-do the bits holding it in, then lift seat up and prize the rubber bits out.
dosent have to come out the car, but it does have to be free if you know what i mean. theres a guide in the guide section.
and if you put it straight back in you wont be able to slide the seat anymore, but i think if you put some washers in you still can. im not sure on that bit, its covered in this thread somewhere.
depends if your bother about the seat not sliding.
i wasnt bothered, the passenger one still moves.

no not too fussed about it moving as i always have it in the same place anyway. Do you have the link for the guide?
Trophy #473
Do you?
theres two in the exhasut tunnel you prob wont be able to get to without jacking it up.
i have no spacers left in mine now, and its slower at sliding, but it stil slides and as i hardley use the back seats it dont bother me.
ok, well me and my old man are giving it ago tomorrow, going to chance just using a jack. Are the bolts in the exhaust tunnel that hard to find? Then just a case of taking those black things out...
Oh, and how tight are the bolts done up? dont want the car moving whilst on a jack
well there through cut outs in the heat shield for the exhasut so you may be able to feel you way to them, once you find the holes in the heat shield just feed the socket through and try and find the bolt. i woulndt want to do it this way as your head / top half of body will be under the car and that shitty renault jack but may be able to do it. the outside two ones you already found, are the only ones with rubber caps on.
mine werent that tight just came undone with a good tug........

did make a noticeable difference in mine. only wish i'd found out about a year ago when i first got the car
oh, may have to get some of those axel stands then, will i be able to get them in halfords store? Is this what you used?
really? was you just guessing where the bolts were or were you actually underneath the car? Mines also lowered 40mm btw..
