Trophy - Lowering

[AntPreston]

Hi So just want to drop the rear of the clio by about 15mm,
whats the best springs to do this, and can you just buy the rears?

cheers

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mark Fish setup is what you want.

 

[AntPreston]

how much for a rear set of springs? and how much does it lower it buy?

cheers

 

[Gally]

Eibach springs mate. Best of both worlds. Keep the great set-up and comfort while gaining on looks.

 

[AntPreston]

they start at 25mm,

looking to drop around 15mm 20 max

Mark fish setup or Eibach sportlines will give you that.

Have a look into Koni adjustble rear dampers for the rear as well.

 

[Addicted]

Eibach Prolines are 15mm!

You think you'll notice 5mm difference ?!

Wait til the tyres are half worn out, it'll be lower than that anyway...

 

[AntPreston]

can someone put up a link, because unless im being stupid i can only see prolines at 30mm

 

[AntPreston]

Apologies - sportlines 30mm and pro lines 50mm

kl cheers mate, can I just purchase the rears? I want to keep the front standard

 

[Malachi]

Maybe best off looking for some second hand in the sales section?

 

[mat-nos]

may aswell do the fronts too if the rears are being changed imo and get them un pinned and set up PROPERLY...
have the dampers been refurb yet??

 

[AntPreston]

what you mean un pinned?
no had the car checked over about 4 weeks ago, he said there need a refurb in about 12 months

 

[mat-nos]

checked over by who??
the front dampers are "pinned" by renault so you cant adjust them, un pinning means you can play around with them and adjust to your hearts content....
imo i would get them refurbed and fit a new the new spring kit, rear arb, polly bushes and have it all set up at the same time.... will feel like a totally different car but cost you the best part of a grand but money well spent in my book....
