Do they only deal with Corsa's? Thinking of getting some made for my Clio, as the lowest I can find to go is 50mm and that's on H&R coilovers for over £900.

Can anyone link me to their website and I'll give 'em an email. Or if anyone else knows how to get Clio low without airbags/hydros!

Hey cheers been talking to them on email. Any chance of people posting up pics of extreme lowering on these springs?

Also, what is the ride quality like? Are you installing them on standard shocks?

Thanks for anyone who posts a pic or info

People on Cliosport seem to worry about them falling out

Were your Gmax shocks made for 60mm?

they wont fall out unless your gonna start driving like bodie and doyle. What you want to worry about is abit of nose up action which is no good for handling

liam they was 110mm, but the ones shaun had sat about 80mm so thats why i said 80mm when i sold then, plus you had your install fitted which weighted it down alot..

80mm springs, your arch should sit about 25/30mm off the wheel lip (roughly with 15s/16s

Heres some pics of mine 'extra low' -100mm springs from coilsprings.co.uk. Im using Jamex shocks with mine



and how they look off the car



The ride quality isnt great being this low to be honest Pretty bumpy but its never bothered me to be honest and you cant expect it to be excellent really. Surprisingly I can still have 3 people in the back with no scrubbing at all The only real issue I've found being this low is speedbumps. even without a middle box on my exhaust it still catches going over some of them. Other than that they are great

the ride quality wasnt the best but you cant expect luxury when your cms off the floor
