[Normski]

Anyone have these or been in a car with them / seen them on a car?

thinking of treating the c2 to a set for summer.

Just after taking them off my car less than half hour ago. I loved them, but the car has to be sold, and i got a buyer for the coilovers.

 

[Normski]

ever have any bother with them being so low?? and how was the ride?

this is how it could look with these things (and theres about 2cm more adjustment that can be made in that pic :

i got a set - which have to be sent back cos they sent me the wrong size but apart from that i havent heard any clio owners complain about them

clio_styling bought a set (wrong size too lol)
DCI Tigger bought a set too

When they're so low do you need to take the wheel off to adjust them?

yep. But once you find a height you like you like having your car at you tend not to change it.

Sounds like a bit of a pain in the whole you have them low going to a show then you have to get the trolly jack out when you come to a speed bump. lol

 

[Normski]

find a route with no speedbumps!!! unless of course they at an entrance to a show in which case there will be alot of boys with the jacks out outside the show and inside again.
lowered 50mm will suit me fine, still leaves like 30mm, but the 50mm will still bring the wheels into arch and still keep it speed bump friendly

I had mine lowered 80mm and it negotiated the speed bumps in the holylands no bother.

 

[Normski]

if i take the c2 right down the 80mm it would leave only 25mm clearence at the front because of the underflap thing, 80mm not designed for were i live, glengormley full of speed bumps!! 50-60mm will do and will look more or less like one above.
worth a go anyway

Boydie is right - loads of Clio owners on the cliosport site reccomend them;

good drop
ride not too harsh
afforadble for what they are

Hope you get sorted Boydie
Clio_Styling got the wrong size for his too

Mine were ordered the week before new years - still haven't landed
Just hope they are 58mm when they do appear

My advice-dont be a tight ar$e....go for the Silverline X's. I had a set fitted on Saturday-they arent wound right down as i have to allow the springs to settle but the back sits lowely as it is.

Ride quality is so much better than the standard shocks and Eiback springs, i have little body roll and is definatey less crashy.

They look superb and i can adjust the height and the dampening rate. I have the dampers set 1 1/2 turns from soft at the moment.

 

[andy_gdon]

before i had them fitted!! Such a nice piece of kit!

 

[Normski]

quick chop on the matter:

standard (maybe i got down too low for pic lol, is like a 4x4.

possible look with eibach springs -50mm only, probably not even lower it 50.:

with coilovers i'm estimating:

lifetime guarantee and insurance friendly as long as i tell em!! can't be bad
