I rather keep the clio as a budget track car, just cant justify spending over £700 on coilovers for a car which i paid under a grand for. Car is mostly sorted anyway, just needs better tyres, more track focused brake pads an cup shocks an coosports/eibach springs an thats me done with the clio...

@JB21 Had a look an the BC DR coilovers are at £782, i just cant justify spending that much on the clio. They have V max coilovers which seem to be very cheap, would they be a better option then cup shocks + cooksports?

@Peperami I stipped the car a week before the trackday an the rear was sitting so high, so came across some apex springs local to me an had them fitted the next day, yes they are dreadful, ride is very harsh but because of this they may be ok on track? Reason why i was thinking cup shocks an...
