Lowering Springs...

[Joel]

My Mate, wants a set for a 1.4 rt, is the suspension struts the same as that off Valver, so cud he buy lowered springs off a Valver?

[Clio_GTT]

lowering springs from a 16v would make it LOW -35mm 16v springs would probably drop the car 60-70mm

[Joel]

Im asking would lowering springs off a valver fit an RT ok?

I might be able to sell you some pretty soon, with front shocks (brand new shocks, but used springs though in good condition) as well at a very good price. They would be 54mm spacing.

If you would be interested drop me a PM, it would be samg1988 selling them but just PM me and I will speak to him about it as I'm not sure he's on here much.

The Question isnt answered, he's Kinda sorted a set

will a set of 50-60mm springs fitted to a Valver, fit the RT suspension struts ok??

[donsrno1]

think so. Don't know how much it will lower it by though.

[Justin..]

They'll but give like a 100mm drop almost on an RT

Its hard to say though as although valvers are 35mm lower as standard I would imagine the 16v lump is a fair bit heavier so you won't quite see as much of a drop on the RT as 100mm.

Key word in my last post 'almost'

Donsrno1 is right - the weight difference complicates things.

-35mm 16v springs will be no lower than -55mm non 16v springs on an RT.

-50mm 16v springs will give the same ride height as -35mm 16v on an RT as the poundage is heigher

Tested on a 1.2..
