well tonight I lowered a mk2 clio.
I done it in 1hour 15 mins whilst blabbing to Alan. Not bad for lowering a whole car!
backs done in the pics, but this is the front pre lowering

I never bothered jacking it up until I wanted the spring out, much easier.
The new springs were a doddle as they were so much shorter.
the best bit was th elack of rusty bolts tbh! |

I use a halfords pro 6mm 3/8th's socket, never had a problem with it, although I have burst the top of a few damper pistons with it |
