Advice needed for my Clios future



  Clio 2 F4R 780
Hello!

I own a clio mk2 ph1, from factory it had a 1.6 16v engine, but now shes got an F4R 780 out of a laguna, rs clio exhaust manifolds aftermaket exhaust, and a bmc airfilter.
I copped pilot sport tyres, they've been fantastic, but I feel like later on I want better handling and breaking performance.

Every suspension component is stock, what would you guys recommend to make my car more responsive and fun and confident in cornering?
Roads in my country arent the best, but I do go like going out for drives on some mountain roads.
I was thinking of getting Bilstein B4s, and then get some kind of lowering springs?
Would RS clio shocks etc fit?

I was also thinking about what kind of breaks to get as an upgrade.
Id deffo go for EBC Yellowstuff as pads, since I got BOSCH ones right now (i know its unheard of)
And for disks I was thinking of either Brembo or ATE or Textar.

Im open for any advice on making my little clio better or more unique!

If you go for b14 you won't need springs in addition.

I think your biggest headache will be compatibility. The RS has completely different front geometry and I think the non-RS version use different bolt spacing for the shock absorbers so I don't think you can fit RS shocks to your hubs.

Ultimately the best thing you could do would be to source the entire set up from a 172 including subframe, wishbones, arb, hubs brakes etc etc. it really depends how far you want to go with it.

B4's are just OEM equivalent shocks, nothing special. No better or worse than other pattern shocks like KYB etc.

EBC brake pads are shite, there's much better pads out there
