So, I want to make one thread with pictures of lowered megane II. I think it's a good idea for newbies, and members who want to lower their cars.
The thread should look something like this:Lowered: -30/-40/-50mm etc.
With: springs/spring+shocks/coilovers/airride
Make: H&R/Spax/KW etc.
Wheel size: 15"/16"/17"/18" etc.
ET: ET38 etc.
Spacers: 20mm/no spacers etc.
Tyre size: 205/55-16/ 205/45-17/ 225/40-18 etc.
Experience: I'm pleased with (or not) ..... make, the coils are great, the ride is (or not) like..., i (don't) recommend them because .... etc.
Photo(s) of lowered car (you could put pictures of summer/winter setup if you get them or car before lowering/after lowering):I think this will be a good thread for some newbies and others who want to lower their cars but don't know how will the car is gonna look after lowering

So if you like this thread, you can start post with your car

does that tyre size make the speedo wrong, I thought to keep it accurate on 18's you'd need 225/40...?
Thanks, n nice mods! How much did the stuff cost, n fitting?

Nice ! That's the way I wanted you to show lowered car !
The wheels are so big with those 225/45 tyres..why did you put them and not 225/40?

Yea speed will be well out...
As much as reading 80 when doing 70.
Not to mention engine stress. (RPM will be higher for a lower MPH)

After reading this i just popped out and had a look. My bad they are 225/40/18. The speedo is about 2-3mph out against GPS, so not too bad. I remember using one of them tyre calculator things before i bought them.
Cheers.

mines dropped 35mm on standard 16s as you can see above.
40 or 45mm maybe, that is if you dont live in london, otherwise 30mm is enough
