newly fitted cyclones :-) - krisjones91 - 31-08-2013
after waiting three weeks for the new bolts to come. i have finally fitted my cyclones. im well impressed with the look of the car with them on.
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Piggy - 31-08-2013
woh...moon buggy alert!!
look very neat mate....but needs some lowering!!!
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - krisjones91 - 31-08-2013
yeah i did notice mate. espec the front. there running 195 45 15. the gap looks massive on the front compared to the crappy tsw alloys i had on there. moneys tight at the mo tho so doing a bit at a time. seeing as my scenic is being a ass at the mo as well lol. bloody renaults.
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Stephen - 31-08-2013
Does look like its on stilts! Haha 45 is rather low profile, everyone runs 50 at least as far as I know!
They look good though! I want some silver clones for mine!
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Piggy - 01-09-2013
yeah the '45 wont help.
lowering springs can be had for £30-40 sometimes with gti struts and doing the rear is just some effort and time if you handy with the tools
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Matt - 01-09-2013
45?! Were they on a 106 before hand?
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Stephen - 01-09-2013
my car doesnt have that much arch gap when i jack it up!
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - PUGNUT_XS - 01-09-2013
looks straight though. Bury the Renault
in a shallow grave lol
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - puglove - 01-09-2013
looks much better. needs lots of lows and some 50s now
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Toms306 - 01-09-2013
55s fill the arches much better, even at standard height.
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Stephen - 01-09-2013
My arches are filled enough with 50s :p

RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - krisjones91 - 01-09-2013
Im not sure what they were running on before. Bought them off tyronnester.
Il have to get some lowering springs for the front. I wont change the tyres for a while as they came with decent ones on.

Same here, but the youngsters don't seem to care about that!
55s at standard height btw.... Fills the rear arch so much better.

They were -40 springs for a saxo...so about -42mm then
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Toms306 - 01-09-2013
Still looked a bit high for 40mm to me lol. But it seems the estate drops more than the hatches now I've found the other pics. Not sure why, they're the same at the front lol!
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Curt - 01-09-2013
There's no way they're -40mm for a Saxo... They would drop a lot lower and ride like shite.
I think 50s look a lot better than 55s on a lowered car, they tend to look a bit balloon-esque. I can't imagine you'd notice that much difference in comfort on a lowered car, either.
Lastly, Tom, you are a youngster you tart.

I've been in Rowells car on 50 profiles at 40mm.....much preferred my own on 55s! But I do like ride comfort...a lot. As for being a youngster, age is just a number. I prefer ride comfort, not caring about speed bumps and grip over looks any day! And 5 doors!!
Also...while I was looking through Pug pics came across this.......... Poverty spec 1.4 Miami, standard height...only mod was the 'clones. Check that arch gap!

They were from airey the fairy and advertised as -40mm drop, only while fitting I found out they were from a saxo lol
The ride quality was ok until they both snapped at the top then the quality was...erm better lol. Now on gti shocks with -50mm springs and all is well
RE: newly fitted cyclones :-) - Eeyore - 01-09-2013
get it lowered!
