Ride height

[Johnny E]

Ive never really looked but can you lower your seat on a Trophy??

 

[son of solo]

no.....

Yes, but not by conventional adjustment methods found on normal Clio RS seats.

If you unbolt the seats there are large spacers which you can remove which lowers the seats about 12mm iirc makes for an improved driving position.

Cheers i will try and have a look:up:

Did you manage to remove the spacers from the seat to lower the ride height?

If so, has it made much difference?

Cheers.

I think it lowers the seats by 10mm by removing the vibration washers.

 

[Johnny E]

I ended up leaving mine

I did mine a few weeks back, easy enough to do.

Once you remove the 10mm spacer make sure you fit a 2mm washer so that the rails do not drag on the carpet.

Ok, have you found it any better or can't really tell? I'm wondering if it's worth doing.

 

[Llolyg]

Would you really notice a drop of 8mm?

Would you really notice a drop of 8mm?

Funnily enough, Yes.

I did it because my knee's were too close to the wheel. Took the vibration mounts out and put those 2mm washers in and it was much better.

Every little helps I guess!How long did the job take?

 

[Rrfierce]

Shouln't take longer than 30 mins. You'll need a deep 13 mm socket.
