Clio 182 suspension set up.. What do you run?

[RSLDH]

As above I’d like to see what people are using and if it’s for track or road or both.

At the moment I have Vmaxx coilovers, car sits really pretty but the ride is too hard and the rear springs seem to be too soft for my

liking. Debating wether to go back on to standard shocks with lowering springs or save abit more money and buy better coilovers.

Car will be mainly a road car. Will only see a track maybe once a year.

Any advice is welcome!

Wow that’s a lot of money [emoji23] I bet it’s worth it though isn’t it? Do you use yours for Track?

Just go back to OE shocks and lowering springs if mainly used on road, which in truth will be better than those Vmaxx coilovers. It just so happens I have fresh OE shocks and lowering springs for sale cheapy, cheap :smile:

Standard cup shocks and H&r springs.

What lowering springs and I’m guessing they are the 60mm spaced shocks?

I love the colour of your car! Makes me regret buying a BG when I see that [emoji23] sits really well too doesn’t it. How do you rate the H&r springs?

Yeah I rate them highly. Not too crashy, ride well and like you say sits nicely.

Thing I like is that it sits lower at the front as a comparison to others I’ve tried where they seem to sit more even. The rear could do with sitting lower for looks but on 15’s it works quite well.

Yeah 60mm shocks and 40mm AMAX (re-braned APEX springs) drove fine for me on road and track. here's mine on them with 15" wheels...PM me if interested.

I'm another vote for the standard cup shocks and H&R springs, they are a great setup, sit slightly lower than eibach sportlines but ride lovely. this is on my 182

I run vmaxx on the other car (phase 1 172), but only because I wanted cheap lows, it doesn't handle great on them but I don't find the ride too bad considering how low I run it

and I run KW V2 coilovers on my track car, they are superb, very compliant and dampers are adjustable so I can soften them to drive to track and then stiffen them for the day. Run 500lb front springs too but thinking of going higher poundage as still too much body roll for my liking. This setup however I wouldn't recommend for a roadcar with occasional track, its much more track focused

Had eibachs on my 172 - decent. Had cooksports on my 182 - v.harsh , wouldnt recommend (despite the forum rating them, i didnt) . Both setups with brand new OE shocks.

I’ve been on cup shocks and cooksports for the last 4 years a hard ride but it is just a track toy and only really gets driven to and from the track, I am in the process of fitting some Gaz Golds with 525lb fronts and 400lb rears.
Always hear good things about B14’s supposed to really good road coilover

 

[hsustyle]

Road & occasional track, rides lovely.
182 cup pack dampers
Cooksport springs
Solid top mounts
Camber bolts
Whiteline rear ARB
Polybushed wishbones, arb, steering rack mounts.

Next on list is epas, best mod on my last Cup.
