Just got some Renault Clio turbines and put them on my raider and it looks like its riding to high . It's got standard suspension , need some ideas on best way to lower my raider and getting it to look low and sleeke . And also a good place to get this done as not mechanically minded I live in Surrey if someone knows of a place in this area to get it done..?
Thanks Jamie.
Where in Surrey? There's loads of members who could do it round here. The Surrey meet would be a good place to startyou could use std front shocks and use lowering springs 30 40mm whatever and lower the rear torsion bar to suite.

Hi there I'm from Guildford myself and I've only had my raider a few months and would like to meet other 5gtt owners . If you could tell me where the meet is held and at what time and day I will do my best to get there.
You got Mike at gt turbo spares just 5 minites from guildford. He'd probably do it for you,
He'd have the lowering springs too mate.
Can I suggest a meet at my garage with local members?
James5, steve L, dave (shaggy) and others and we lower this car like the old days?
Just a suggestion sounds fun
Springs needed and slide hammer.
Come on chaps roll up ( not a wed eve though!)
Not that I'll be doing it as spinal fusion surgery is set for may 7th...Originally Posted by JRP
