Lowering '05 clio

[JclioD]

has anyone else stuggled to find springs to lower (1.4) 05 clio by about 40mm?all springs seem to be for like 98?

Most list 98 onwards Mk2's then the engine size. IIRC you shouldnt have problems finding 30 40 or 60mm springs.

What Loony means is that a post 98 models springs will fit yours too.

Get some FK Coilovers (up to -80mm) for the best looks, ride and handling!

cheers, i thought that was the case, and as for coilovers, sadly, being a student, not too minted, so im looking for springs!!

i dont think you can ger 40mm springs for our year model.cos i could only find 35mm or 60mm springs.........obv went for the 60mm!!

Got mine from motorworld catalogue. Its for a 1.6 but the kit is the same as the 1.4. Spax VSX £250 40mm drop

1.4 98 is same as 1.4 05

i believe the sifference is some cars have a 52mm and some have a 58 mm bolt spacing. Thats not dependent on age though, although i think the 52 was older models only. basically a clio mk2 onwards all have the same suspension find your bolt spacing and it will match

Mk2 phase 1 cars come with a variatey of hubs most 1.2's use 52mm hubs the 1.4 use 54 and the 1.6 and 19 use 58mm hubs the Mk2 phase 2 use 99.999% of the time 58mm hubs for all models however some early Mk2 2 1.2's have 52mm hubs.
