No idea what setup that Clio is running, I imagine adjustable top mounts and other tweaks to accept lowering that amount. On a standard car the wishbones will be pointing upwards which affects how they handle roll not to mention driveshafts will be at angles outside spec at a rough guess. It does look good but is bet money its not setup the best way.

When you planning new wheels?
I fitted coilovers and had great intentions of getting full geometry setup aswell. I let it slip a matter of weeks which then lead to months and a set of front tyres that were down to the threads on the inside.
Just make sure you get a full 4 wheel laser alignment geometry setup from a reputable garage and not just kwik fit or ats

I think its too low for me on the front - Umm should be picking up my new wheels this weekend then work out how to fit them.

Yeah I am planing on getting it set up asap - Only got it done last week aswell as I didnt intend on fitting the Coilovers as quickly..
