You cna go even lower depend how extrem you want
Foxy can you do me a favour and we can then compare see how low your car realy is compaired to mine measure from the center of the wheel to the top of the arch as such at the fornt and back I'll go measure now mine
(it not perfect with offsets etc realy you as per Renault spec says meaure the sills to the ground and take away the distance to from the ground to the center of the wheel but its good enough).
Tyres dn't matter its the wheels which would abigger sticking out tyre makes the dimention smaller as such and makes for an appearacne of a lowered car.
Ok just checked mine it about 35 front and rear but its ona slight slope will get it in the garage tomorrow but both sides seem about the same.
So in other words your would be about
85mm at the front
70mm at the back
I'd be interested to see what Freds car measured up as as I think his is only one cm lower at the back and a little more at the front and his is cliamed to be 110mm which using my figures is a little way off.
thats good to know
im limited with the front at that now as if i go any lower the wing/bumper joint bends when the wheel is turned
Need to go to smaller wheels or get some spare arches from a damages car and cut them away maybe as nessessary there a good 2 cm there I recon can come off you'd need to go to stiffer springs I'd bet else you'll be running on the bump stops.
Might go for the 85 at the front and 70 at the back then. but im wondering about turbing corners! wont the wheels push out my bumper/Arches/W/e's there? lol
Clio MK2 (1.2)
mine are ymm duno how low, and when i do full lock my Arches make a hell of a noise, sometime like their cracking from inside, so when i do a 3point turn in a road, its usually a 12point turn now
. when i go over small bumps in the road the wheels bang against the arches :nono: not good, tempted to lift it up a bit 2morrow if i got the time .. so really think hard on how low you want it, if you have high speed bumps ramps to go up then id think twice, incase you damage the car
Im interested to see what the numbers realy are on it.
Especialy now as its got a bit heavier at the front.
Its undrivable though ins't it (mechanicaly not actually)?
Impressive have you gone some weight moving in the car ie battery in boot?
What weight springs are they then still 5mm lower very good.
yep
edde - its just stock 1.2 FK coilovers, the 172 engine and box was "only" 27kg heavier than the 1.2 setup
it's 2 live in the back and his son and daughter in the front... dont worry, all keys were removed... like father like son!
