Tuning Lowing springs

[goodgirl156]

As this is being done on a budget so now coil overs are out of the question. What would work best on standard new shocks?

I was thinking 40mm but have seen kits for 60 :S

The car will rairly be used on the road so comfort isn't so much of a issue

If any one has any for sale that I could nab before this sat....

keep an eye on ebay mate, my spax springs were only £11 inc P+P.



Cov69 managed to fit clio diesel springs to the back of his black 1.4 that he did, don't know what he used on the front tho, you'd have to have a read.

FK kit do a 70/50mm. For £220 (posted). I think it is hard to beat.

Spax do a set with damping adjustable, for around £369 ?

Really what is your budget, the best place i found to be

The 70/50 kit, I assume that's going to be ok? I don't want any scrubbing although ground clearance isn't going to be a issue

Ash, do you ever go to the breakfast club at RAF cosford?

Thanks every one, order going in tomorrow. I should have done this to start off with!

Its first outing is going to be a sprint track in October

Also get some camber bolts that is made for a clio mk1 ! (they are also on the site), so you can give it that extra negative camber

For the price of £20, is well worth it IMO

its a good 40mins from me as well, well worth the Sunday morning out though! anything from lambos to vintage fords gets up there.

 

[goodgirl156]

ordered this morning! The reviews I have read look good

 

[clock34]

they are good! corners like a dream

 

[goodgirl156]

Just the man!
Do you have any pics of the car on its new height? Do they scrub at all?

 

[goodgirl156]

Dam, I have to wait 12 days, My own fault as I should have checked I suppose. They have to be ordered in.

 

[clock34]

click on the pic of my car in my sig... all pics are on page 6 i think..

im running abarth alloys with 185x55 tyres and the standard 10mm spacers up front. 6mm spacers at the rear due to the disk conversion.
if your on full lock and go over a bump it can tap the arch but that only worries you when your parking and you can avoid massive holes... during actual driving ive never had it scrub once even with a full car.

Done already ash!

I undersealed it while I was there to boot, and replaced front pads, rear bleed nipples and drained/refreshed break fluid!
I hate sleeping so I get up early on my weekends
