Aye I agree, looks sound as that. Wll be epic to see what she looks like rolling flat on her [%*^#@!] though. Thinking of screwing off the remap n saving for coilovers instead. Get them fitted ASAP.

What you done with ur old alloys Mike?

Thanks for the comments. Coilovers is definitely in the pipeline for future mods.

I sold my 19's mate, my wife is 7 days past due with our second baby so the combination of the car being on 35 profile tyres and lowered 45mm was a bit too much. Plus I always fancied going standard on some Resolfens seen as mine is an LX and came with steelies and trims!!

Give it a bit of time and I will have it low on coilovers!!

Your coilovers will fit dont worry!!

LX SX and VTR+ are all just trim levels. LX is the most basic trim level with less features so it doesn't have front spot lights, has steel wheels and a different interior pattern. I have an LX so my car had steelies on when I got it and I hate them.

Pretty much any suspension component will fit any model, just need to watch as the VTS has lower than normal suspension as standard and the diesels are front heavy.

Gents,

Been a while since put anything on here.

These probably dont do much for handling but would do the job regards slamming it on its @rse!

Yeah im sure they would do the job of getting your car low!!

I have seen them before but not sure what the quality would be like for that price!!

If you decide to go for them then a review on the quality and durability would be good.

Listing doesn't mention rear springs which you might want to check!

Might be ok, but I'd be very careful. I think with some of this stuff you really do get what you pay for.

These are the same one's I have. They're ok, I've certainly felt worse. Im down about 1/3 of its potential and its pretty low. Just remember to do your strut top's at the same time, as mines both went within 2 weeks of me getting the new suspension fitted. Where possible I would suggest solid top mounts (I know they were quite common on clios) but don't know where to source from, maybe someone could help out in that department?

My car now on KW coilovers.

Before this I had TA Technix coilovers which cost around £250 new but the ride was nowhere near as good as these KW coilovers. At approx £800 new these are very expensive but in my opinion they're definitely worth it!!
