Different Suspension Setups on All Models

[chriscup77]

just bought eibach pro kit springs which lower 30mm and put them on my 172 cup and it does not look any different, do i need to wear them in or are they rubbish springs?

[BioHzrd]

Give it a week or so for them to settle but Eibachs are known not to lower by what they say

[$torm Rider]

Lowered by 75mm




My brother's clio (Storm rider) lowered 60mm before i got my hands on it.





Will be making an appearence soon, sitting much lower

They'll be firmer, but no lower on a cup.

This is a set of Prolines on my 182 FF with cup packs. They are lower than on the Cup springs, just more subtle than Sportlines, all a matter of taste really. Good ride, better handling, admittedly not much lower but that's not why I changed, recommended for a good compromise.

Around 90mm I Think:




On Standard Alloys:

[Black-Clio-1.4]

yum.

[BioHzrd]

Strom that mk3 is not lowered by 75mm thats touching on 60/65mm max

[$torm Rider]

It may look higher then it is due to the front tires been lower profile compared to the standard profile. Thats all the tire shop had in stock, wasn;t to bothered as these are only my winter wheels

[DanD182]

coilovers with custom rear springs, 16' wheels, 45 profile tyres, around 100mm...



some other custom rear springs, rest same as above, more than 100mm...

I've just shot my load!

+1!!!!!!

having lowered suspension is fine if all you plan to do is drive on smooth tarmac, but with the amount of speed humps etc around its not exactly practical. I had a Cinquecento abarth that had been lowered and it was a nightmare on back roads or anything bumpy. it kept bottoming out. Fine on fast A roads and motorways. I'd think twice about lowering again if you want a car thats going to be practical and not just for track and show use.

[BioHzrd]

If you slam a car your not exactly looking for practibility though are you ?!

[cliocrazy-53]

what are the weitecs like, im looking at getting some

[club.renault]

I've changed the stock springs with Weitecs (35mm lower - this is official spec)...the picture shows the difference.

Now I want to lower a bit the rear and maybe someone tell me where I can find height adjusters to compress a litlle bit the rear springs.

[ross470]

what type of alloys are on this mate

[club.renault]

The alloys are "Equation" named, on 15".

roll centres?
bump steer?
bump stops?
or just show and no go?

the eibach pro-kits are designed to optimise handling with std rod ends and without moving pick up points. lowering more on macpherson strut front end worsens handling. i'd love to see one of those 100mm drop car's try and keep up with a std twingo on a twisty bumpy b road...

[Big red onion]

any one have problems with man holes/british b-roads and the tyre receding up into the arch and rubbing?? its not the arch it rubs its the front part of the chassis where the bumper meets the wing i think .

i have KTR /GAZ coilovers and i think i am just seting them up wrongly?!?

Would love any help/advise. only happens when there are large bumps and am turning left or on the section of M20 just before junction 8 where there is the worlds most god awful dip/bump!!

[veloce]

easy. it's too low. roll centre below ground. more body roll. raise it up - end of problem.
