Default Lowering on a budget
Had a car in for mot today, a 1999 Clio, as you can see in the pictures, the owner had lowered it without spending too much cash, seen it all now.

Is that better or worse than cutting the springs. I'm not quite sure.

Well you can adjust the ride height easy enough this way, cheaper than coil overs and same result :-)

Bloody Reno shamelessly plagiarising Citroen again!

Fail. Are MOT testers allowed to fail owners and have them scrapped?

Good question Chippo, anyone like to have a guess? Have a read through the manual online and see what you think?

Spring clamps used to be a common way of lowering. Better than cutting the springs but still not the safest....
