Limited options/expensive maybe but not imposible.
Some decent options below:

Flow wise a decat will be marginally better than a race (100cell) cat.
I've always preffered the option of a race cat to a decat due to ease of mot etc.
You'll not have backpressure problems by fitting a decat on a turbo. It will be louder than a cat/high flow cat.
The only potential issue is...
I would advise covering at leat the face of the wheels with some cardboard/bubble wrap. If you don't and they get scratched etc then the buyer will be a bit miffed...
For a track car solid ones make sense, but instead of the k-tec ones I would go for a set that are adjustable for camber/caster (for example the AST ones).
Can't comment on the strutbrace front, haven't tried on the clio. Their aim if to reduce movement of the suspension towers to keep the...
Although my advice is also to stick to the std top mounts unless you have problems with them and/or you use the car on track a lot, I disagree on the stiffness comment.
I now run a set of the black K-tec ones (picked them up cheap), with eibachs and std shocks. They haven't made the car...
Yes they are unfortunately.
Do you need a full set of mounts? Why?
Solid type ones are better value only on a track car.Although the steering sharpens up a little bit and you loose some flex from the std rubber ones, they transmit noises more and they do put more strain on the chassis. Some...
Although the CUP packed cars as standard has got a better setup, it limits you options for aftermarket suspension drastically.
If you're thinking that you'd want to change the stock setup, then the std setup is easier to find bits for (shocks/coilovers) and in all honesty not that much worst as...
Out of those my favourites are the V70s. Their grip and "sharpness" in dry conditions a good step up over any road tyre. Also semi slick will last better on track than normal tyres. So yes for me esp for a track car they more than worth it.
Agree on the comment about DT but I'd still stick to well known trader (like K tec, Jam etc) the wait rather than part money to a profiteering individual.
Due to popular demand here it is:
Old style insert and nut:
Old vs new style top hat (short is new)
New insert in place (single piece):
Assembled with an m14 washer betwee top hat and insert:
My advice/experience for what it's worth:
The new inserts need the new style top hats...
Just thought to update the thread with my issues/findings. No idea if others will find the same or not (a bit too early yet). However I was dissapointed to discover that they knocked/rattled once I've adjusted the camber to -2degrees. They were ok up until then. (maybe by adjusting the camber...
Just as a warning before everybody rushes to their local Renault for inserts/mounts.
The knoking/ratling has come back on mine (after a full set of mounts/inserts etc), esp after I've adjusted the camber to a more agressive -2.
Dropped an M14 washer abobe the new insert and it's now ok again...
