which springs ?

[tim_foster23]

i have a 1.2 16v clio its pretty much standard at the mo bit skint but was wondering iwhich springs and dampers 2 buy which lowers it but does give me 2 much hassle for speed bumpers and crapy roads.

cheers chaps!

I'd recomend both springs and dampers you can get APEX and other kits for about £200~250. I wouldn't bother with just springs personally as you'll just wear the dampers so there no point just saving in the sort term as you'll have to pay the same again to swop the dampers later in life.

i have some springs and dampers for sale
going on ebay tomorrow when ive got a pic. if your interested they're koni red 35mm kit, and also got some spax 60mm springs which im chucking in. £175 ono

 

[tim_foster23]

ok cheers lads i would be getting dampers aswell if i would lower it. cheers again

 

[tim_foster23]

one more thing. do i need to get it lowered on the torsion bar or can i just do it with a kit and if so how much would it cost about? thanks!

ok cheers lads i would be getting dampers aswell if i would lower it. cheers again

my kit consists of springs and dampers, i'm just chucking in some extra springs as well, incase you wanna change to a 60mm drop

60mm's a nice drop...Apex is quite comforable... I had mine about -75mm on FK's tho...was a bit sharp.

Middo's kit would contain all you need!

The Mk2 clios don't have a torsion bar! If your handy with a spanner and have the right tools you can fit the kit yourself, otherwise a garage will charge about 2-3 hours labour.

my konis were just as comfortable as the standard suspension, just made it more fun and sporty to drive Just got mine put on fks (hence why i'm selling my kit) currently -85mm, and you can feel every stone in the road lol

The springs are spax btw

 

[tim_foster23]

ok cheers lads i'll have to check out the funds for that kit. ill ave to pm ya about it mate cheers!

 

[Middo]

not a problem

go for middo's if you can tim, soz middo I was going to but wanted it done this week for the south mimms meet, and chucking my new alloys on. So have gone for the Apex -60 kit.

 

[Middo]

fair enough matey. i dont think i should have too many problems selling it on here or ebay, as theres best part of £400 in rrp's.

 

[tim_foster23]
