has anyone got any experience of these springs, any good? do they give it a drop, or like eibach and not noticeable? whats the ride like cheers

was looking at Apex, but yup ride not good. any reviews on spax springs, 25-30mm will these give a true drop, whereas eibach wont any pics fitted to a 172? cheers

i know the reputation on here, but i much prefer the stance of apex over eibach, but before i spend my cash, is anyone near Fareham that fancies meeting up and letting me have a ride to see for myself??? even just an excuse for a beer meet?

looking for some constructive views based on experience rather than the eibach eibach eibach view ( i want to see a difference in height) so do apex really deserve the reputation, surely the likes of ktec and others wouldnt sell an inferior product? what are the racelands like, in terms of...

Have a Phase 1 172, noticed that the boot floor is getting wet, not good as i clean the car all the time, im guessing its the rear light or boot seal, before i start off are there any other clio usual suspects to check? cheers

Hi, has anyone got any pics of a ph1 172 with the k-tec koncept spoiler on it, fancy something different to teh cups but all pics so far are of a ph2 thanks in advance Paul

hopefully a quick easy fix is out there. occasionally when coming to a halt i notice that the revs are sticking up around 1500-2000 but if i give the throttle a little blib, they drop down to a normal idle any thoughts?

as above, i have a leak into the passenger footwell that seems to be coming from the scuttle panel i think, tipping a bucket of water over the top of the windscreen causes the footwell to become wet, so i guess the scuttle panel rather than the wheelarch or sill drains. thing is, i have...

im fairly sure my passengver footwell leak is caused from something under the scuttle panel. thing is how do you get the wipers off? ive taken off the 3 13mm nuts on each of the arms and the arms are staying firmly on the car, no amount of pulling is shifting them. is there a knack to...

I have just bought one of teh few yellow Phase 1, 172's and was wondering if there is a register or any log of the cars and how many remain.

as title, i have a leak in the passenger footwell, driving me crazy. if you were sat in the seat the wetest part is right where your right foot would be, next to teh centre consol. ive checked the sill drains and cleaned out the n/s wheel arch and checked the drain from the scuttle, all...

Hi, I have an early 172, im guessing the engine manage / emissions bulb has been taken out or blown as it doesnt iluminate when i start the car. the car runs totally fine. it has a stainless exhaust, but the cat appears to be there, but whether it was de catted at any time previously i...

Hi, My speedo is very hit and miss, sometimes it works fine upto 80-85 then it goes to zero and stays there, other times it doesnt work at all. is this just the gearbox sensor? if so how easy is this to change and where best to order one cheers

Hi, new here and to clio ownership, just bought a phase 1 172, loving it but couple gremlins to resolve. My central locking doesnt work, need ideas. i have replaced the battery in the fob, yes the little light comes on, but nothing happens. if i manually lock the car each door only locks...
