For all those with slammed mk1 RTs, do any of you have problem of it bouncing up and down like its on drugs? Am I right in thinking its cos the backs sitting on bump stops which causes this? My fronts lowered 55mm which was fine, drove fine when I tested it to make sure they were rate, then...
Hmmmm, funny you should say that cos I can hear a whirring noise when the cars idling but it goes away when the clutch is pushed in. This best not mean the clutch is on its way out? :(
I wasnt gonna lower it, nearly 3 year its been high but thought feck it, be rate!!! Still doing 300+ mile a week though so Im hoping itll be fine. Was told to go for a 35mm drop though with miles but thought feck it, may as well slam it!!!!
Sprayed loads of WD behind the caps and been trying...
Yeah, thats exactly it!!! It should pull the torsion bar out! Although Im currently having problems gettin the dust caps off, well and truely stuck on :(

Hmmmmm, highly suspicious!!!!!!! Gotta ask, if this chip really did work and pump power up to 190bhp while reducing fuel economy, why didnt Reno just ship 172s with it and call it 190 to win the BHP wars with Pug!

Right, me and some mates are gonna attempt to lower my Clio (mk1 phase 2 1.4RT) Saturday. Gonna be fitting new springs to the front and adjusting the torsion bar. Got the guide off RSC members section but wanna know what tools well need? I assume the front shocks are just bolted on and hoping...
