A strut brace is only designed to stiffen up the front end so that the chassis does not flex. On my old Sunbeam rally prepped 1.6, I had an upper and lower strutbrace fitted and if definately made a difference to the handling - it was just a lot tighter all round.
Does the clio have the facility for a lower as well as upper brace?
^^ why no to lower brace?? i know Whiteline does a lower brace and adj sway bar (18mm) for the clio. it helps to increase grip on the front tyres doesnt it? have a read at their main website under FAQ.
I seem to remember that there was stuff in the way so they couldnt be fitted unless you fancied cutting the subframe!! WWilling to be corrected though!
It helps on some cars but not other, same as any mod really
agree that some cars benefit compared to others on the same mods, say turbo and na cars.
but for mods relating to handling, stiffen the chasis etc, the theory applys widely to all cars.
whiteline seems to do a nice quality bit of kit for the clio models. http://www.whiteline.com.au/
have a read at the swaybar FAQ and tell me if you think whiteline has jus wasted time or it's a marketing gimmick.
