There were a decent tyre in the day, launched as the replacement for the PE2 which was standard fit on the the Clio Trophy, but they were Michelin’s mid-range tyre deliberately positioned below the PS2 and PSS not top of the line when new, and that was 10 years ago. The PS4/PS4S and the newest...

OP is looking for 225/45/18

You can now get the PS4S in the UK in 235/40/18 and 215/35/18.

The Goodyear Assy 5 is comparable in performance to PS4 although will likely wear slightly quicker. Michelin have nailed the trick of great grip vs longevity better than any other manufacturer. The Goodyear Supersport is comparable to the PS4S at a lower price point and in a wider range of...

Bumping this thread to see if anyone has a set of rear rubber mounts in usable condition, before I buy a brand-new set of dampers. Plus two M10 x 1.5 mm nuts to suit the rear struts would be a bonus.

It was my understanding the rear Cup springs have red and white dots whereas the fronts have yellow and blue as per this pic

Thanks. Pretty sure that 172 Cup and 182 Cup/FF springs are different. 172 Cup front springs have yellow and white dots while 182 Cuo/FF springs have yellow and blue dots.

Be interesting to see how much it goes for... https://www.collectingcars.com/for-sale/2012-renaultsport-clio-200-raider

CL RC6 were the absolute worst for dust on my hawkeye. The sintered material eats wheels like you would not believe. Performance comparable to XP10s but significantly faster wear. Overall XP10 is my favourite compound of all the ones I’ve tried.

I’ve not used XP10s on a Clio, only Imprezas. Really surprised to hear this feedback tbh as it’s totally different from my experience, but it’s good to hear. I got into the habit of cleaning my Impreza wheels after every drive. Also pretty encouraging that you can get 10 trackdays from a set...

I might have to give the RSL29 a shot. That’s a pad I’ve not tried - all of the others I’ve ever used which give me the stopping power I need have been corrosive particularly if driving in the wet. I haven’t used XP8, but XP10s are pretty bad on both discs and wheels.

I've only owned a Clio for 200 miles so can't offer specific advice for this platform, other that the DS1.11s on my car have incredible bite but are incredibly loud when warm. As others have said, performance comes at a price in terms of dust and disc wear. There is no pad that offers better...

They don’t have any dots on them.

Sorry, 182 Cup.

Got a set of front springs here sold to me as Cup springs, and trying to work out if they are actually Cup items. I suspect they are not as I have seen photos of Cup springs showing five full winds whereas these have four. No paint markings on the springs, but they do have numbers printed on...

I assume they are two different versions of the undertray for different cars, and the one I need is shown above (not part #2 in the diagram)

My car is without the undertray and I'd like to refit it. I know about part no 6000073775 that attaches with four bolts directly behind the bumper. I'm confused by the diagram below though...do I need both items pictured or just one?

The coilovers that came fitted to my car are too stiff for my requirements so I am going to replace with OEM 182 Cup parts. This being my first Clio and with no experience of OEM suspension I wanted to make sure that my shopping list is present and correct. I have the Cup springs already...

@New2RS if you want to sell that bit of wiring please give me a bell.

Is that a typo, Graham? Assume your rears have the helper spring fully compressed? Would be interested in seeing pics of your rear arch gap if you have any.

The pic is shadowy so difficult to see, but the wheels are off the ground i.e. this is full droop with no weight on the suspension. When on the wheels the edge of the tyre is more or less in line with the arch. I'd like more ride height as this is primarily a road car and I hit the bump stops...

Thanks chaps for the quick replies. I suspect that I am already at the max ride height and that any more adjustment of the collar is simply compressing the helper spring not extending the strut length any further. Here's a photo at full droop - does this look about right for max rear height...

I'm having the same issue and thought I'd bump this thread rather than start a new one. I'd like to increase rear ride height - it's not clear to me reading the thread above how the issue was resolved. When I adjust the collar on the AST 4100 damper body, all this appears to do is compress the...

Thanks. Wanted to get the nut off to put two large washers on there to retain the broken tab on the ECU cover. Not enough thread for another nut and washers. May have to try a nut breaker.

Almost embarrassing to ask help for such a small problem, but am having trouble removing the nut on the OS front turret. It's spinning on the thread. Tried prying with a screwdriver but it isn't budging. Any ideas?

The insurance sector hasn't changed its offerings in decades. It's ripe for new players like Cuvva to come in and offer something more tailored and customer-friendly. Of course Cuvva and their like are limited to standard cars but in time that will change.

There must be a jetwash at a petrol station near you. Use that to remove the caked on crud, then Optimum No Rinse in a third of a bucket and a second bucket to rinse your mitt will get you as clean as any “normal” wash. In fact cleaner as you don’t have to worry about water spots using this...

Thanks for checking. If you ever have the required wiring available I’d gladly purchase it.

@Mbeau any luck finding wires?

Welcome. Croatia is one of my favourite countries to visit. Although I've not been to Zagreb yet.
