Thinking of going lower.

[Lil-slugger]

I've got a Clio 182 FF. and frankly fancy going lower....

' what's the normal standard ride hight, and I don't wanna go too low just a little and wondered what people would recommend ??

 

[DanEdser]

eibach have good reviews but im not sure how low they go

 

[imprezaworks]

Have you looked at the group buy for the cooksport springs.

 

[Kchristmas]

I've got apex and the ride isn't harsh at all but gives a good drop

This is how mine looked on Sportlines. On 15"s too.

Whack a piccy up mate, ive just ordered some, i know alot of people say they are harsh but im after a decent drop.

Thanks

 

[Lil-slugger]

What kind of drop do ya reckon you had on the sportlines

 

[Kchristmas]

Before:

After

dropped about 50mm on 40mm springs

 

[Stefan.]

sportlines or you will just ruin the handling!!

 

[imprezaworks]

or the new cooksport ones.....maybe?

no reviews yet sure they will be ok

 

[Lil-slugger]

I like the drop on yours kchristmas..... Hmmmm and they are sportlines??

 

[Coops Mk1]

k's is on apex mate as he said in first post

i had apex on my old 172 and found them absolutely atrociously bad ride, my coilovers (cheap ktecs) are less harsh!lol!

this is my FF on coilies

and on 15's instead of the 16's like above

I like the drop on yours kchristmas..... Hmmmm and they are sportlines??

Naa they're apex matey

 

[Lil-slugger]

Oh sorry mate.

Hmmmm yeah I kinda want coilies because i still want a half decent ride if ther is such a thing haha

 

[Coops Mk1]

as said mate, my coilies are a hell of a lot more forgiving than the apex from my experience

 

[Lil-slugger]

Yeah .... Coops gotta admit that's the type of hight an after ....

 

[Kchristmas]

Mines only a 1.2 and I think handlings great, but it might be different for a sport ????

 

[Coops Mk1]

it may be lack of experience on different suspension setups chap, no offence meant, but i have run a hell of a lot of different springs, coilovers, shockers on a hell of a lot of different clios over the years and of the lot, the apex were by far the worst.

dont get me wrong, they went round corners fine if the road was flat and smooth, but hint of a bump or undualtion and they just fell to pieces and on rough roads the ride quality was dreadful

Non taken I'm just comparing them to standard springs as I haven't really had anything else but the rides perfect. I assumed it would e different for a sport as I'm guessing the suspension will be stiffer anyway

 

[Coops Mk1]

try some others chap, it'll be a revelation i bet
