Low and Slow 1.4 16v
have you had them rear springs compressed? yours sits so much lower at the back than mine and it seems you have your adjusters in
nope, just fitted them mate, not custom or anything.. im looking to get custom tho as i want to go lower
.. i do have a massive sub box in the boot tho!Thanks alot mate, and no they are the same as those tho, These are AXE EX8 wheels (availible in better colours than XXR) there 15 X 8J ET30 all round, im running ET15 rear and ET20 front tho with spacers, and also have a 185/45/15 Nankang tyres all round
Every time I see this car, the more I fall in love with it.

oh i see, i have removed my adjusters and still have my old 17" spare wheel in the boot. but yours definitely looks lower at the back end. Another job for summer, custom springs!

Awesome mate!
How low did you end up going?
How low did you end up going?
spot on, cup spoiler would set it off
I thought about it... Would rather save the money for something that goes in the front end tho mick, if you know what I mean
hahaThanks mate, it's as low as it can go.. Rear adjusters are out and front is would all the way to the bottom

Did you roll the arches?
About £500's worth of different things mate, im on detailingworld alot, i use a rotary machine polisher when doing all my work
yeah, well, modified the bumper bracket using a dremel, cut it back as much ass possible, then used an ach roller and rolled the arches completely flat, and slightly puled them, and then sealed them all up inside after

love the car mate, did u get a garage to stretch the tires or did u fit them yourself?
My cousin has a tyre machine so he done them for me mate, were fairly easy to get on tbh...

Don't want to roll the arches on mine, such a shame as I would of loved to have gone the same route on my 172

May i ask why you don't want to roll the arches?
Also you can still go low at the front and rear without rolling arches. You just have to fit the correct spacers

In case I want to sale it, then I'd put it back to standard.
Been told I can do it with camber and stretching the tyres without spacers

I can't see why a buy would be bothered about rolled arches, i certainly wouldn't. Up to you though.
That's also true, too much camber makes a clio look broken though so its a fine line. 2 degree negative looks alright.

Wouldn't go to mad with the camber though.
Thinking of taking ekaJ's advice after seeing the latest picture of his 182

i've only seen his avatar pic it does look good though. Get it done, worry about the scraping afterwards. Thats what the dremel/grinder is for.

I'll see if he will post the picture he sent me
Low and Slow 1.4 16v
Yes! I do like that, that's sitting about the same height as mine. Very brave doing that to a 182, bet there's a lot of haters on this forum. I'm definitely not one of them though. Get some more pictures
^^ that above looks smart, + you will not be able to tell the arches are rolled when you come to sell it? all depends on how low your going and wether you like your tyre wall being destroyed..
my clio wheels sit completely flush with the arch, thats why i had to roll them other wise i would destroy tyres.. but if your going to be at a sensible height then there is no need to worry about it..

did you have any coilover clearance issues with the new wheels?
Only got one picture of it
Looking epic as ever.
No none at all, all my wheels rub the arches on the outer, but nothing touches on the inner

See what I mean about ekaJ's 182, one nice car.
I want to go the same height as ekaJ, but with 8x15's instead of 8x16's.

yeah its smart. You can easily go that height with 15x8's. Ive got 15x6 offset et38 (i think) with 20mm adapters. Theres loads of room in the arches
I'm having a crisis.
That is epic. So smooth now.
Needs a smoothed wiper blank!
