Advice on lowering please x

[pugtastic_baby]

Can anyone give me some advice on whats the best kit to use for lowering my clio? Hes a 2001 172 sport thanks x

If you want just springs then go for the Eibach Sportlines and if you want Coil overs then go for H&Rs

Cheers hun What do you suggest? Best place to get them from? x

 

[Michael172]

Ktec racing sell them, but i dont know if theyre the cheapest place.

Sportlines will give the car better handling and give it a stiffer ride (speaking from when i was in rob's car) but you wont see it get MUCH lower, so if your after it being decked get some others. Sportlines are only a 30/35mm drop iirc.

 

[pugtastic_baby]

no probs cheers for that x

whats your budget??

 

[theduck]

depends on entirely what you want. Personally I would get eibach sportlines and some koni yellow shocks

 

[Christophe]

eibach springs around 130 quid. H&R collies 730 quid.

 

[fUbAr]

avoid Apex and PI springs and you can't really go far wrong

 

[pugtastic_baby]

willing to spend up to a grand really, want a decent job done on it x

 

[fUbAr]

Leda coilovers.

sorted.

*edit*

in fact, forget that as you won't be able to get them bought and set up properly for £1000.

H&Rs and head over to MarkFish to get them properly set up.

 

[theduck]

H&R coilerovers are about £750. Worth spending the rest of the budget having them set up properly though!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

H&R's will do the job fine.

Mark Fish might be a little bit far for her in Lancs, LOL. Anyone with a clue could get them setup ok though. Fred might be able to help.

 

[Christophe]

defo get H&R's and get them properly setup if you got a grand

 

[pugtastic_baby]

If you have that budget then defo go for the H&Rs and get them adjusted and set up properly as it will be money well spent and feels awesome on the road......
