    Alternative Coilovers to H&R???

    i'm afraid i have to join the haters! i thought that when i had a set of gaz that the ratios seemed set all wrong, too much compression damping compared to the rebound, so hard over bumps, but too quick on the way up so very bouncy. and the rear springs collapsed three times before i got my...

    Best track/race coilovers???

    they are pretty easy to set up, the rebound is done from the top of the strut, with a plastic key they supply. the bump is adjusted from the bottom of the strut with an allen key- can be difficult with the wheels on, but is possible. as far as reliability goes, i have used a set daily on the...

    Best track/race coilovers???

    not as long as that, as far as i can remember they were pretty quick. But that was out of season. There will be a load of race teams buying now.

    Best track/race coilovers???

    the race set is built to order, when i got mine they asked what the spacing needed to be, then drilled them to fit. have you spoken to them direct?

    Best track/race coilovers???

    :) i'm just being pedantic.. although i'd personally go for kw's;)

    Best track/race coilovers???

    if he is talking about the best possible, they will probably cost more than the car is worth. ohlins, penske, reiger or such

    Leaking Front Shock; replace 1 or both?

    if they are adjustable then you will have to go and play until you find a setting you like, if non adjustable i couldn't tell you how the balance would be. what i can say for sure is that i have been in a few clios with the koni/eibach set up and it is pretty good, not too solid but an...

    Leaking Front Shock; replace 1 or both?

    probably replace both, unless they are pretty new. although if they are then you may have some warranty on them? as to uprating them, what do you use the car for? if it is mostly b roads, comuting, etc then i would honestly go oe, as they seem to be a pretty good balance. saying that though, a...

    Track Day coming up - Toyo Proxes T1-R

    i've used toyo's for years and found them to be brilliant considering the cost! they are also control tyre for a few different race series- including castle coomb saloons. the only thing i would say is that you should never use a new set of tyres for a track day as they will overheat very...

    300+ BHP clio

    it was closer to 20k to be honest, and that is without the cam changeover working. but, when that is done and it has a new fuel pump scott is expecting a few more bhp out of it:)

    knocking noise when pulling off

    but more seriously, i'd say your best chance of getting the right answer would be to get someone in the passenger seat to record the noise, showing the clocks at the time might help too?

    knocking noise when pulling off

    possibly parents banging on the wall to get you to stop?

    KW competition coilovers

    to be honest, i'd say that comfort is stretching it a bit!! i don't mind, but anyone in the passenger seat normally has something to say. as for the drop, i don't know the numbers. but the front wishbones are set level, as this will give the least weight transfer...

    KW competition coilovers

    i meant one more click+ on the rebound so the rear is a tiny bit slower coming back up and a bit less bouncy. i use mine day to day, so i have spent ages playing with the settings. the most comfortable set up i have found for that is with the bump completely open and the rebound between 1/2 to...

    KW competition coilovers

    i've no idea about the weight loss to be honest, but as far as the setting up goes, i found the settings in the instructions to be pretty close, i added another click of rebound to the rears, as they were a little bit bouncy for me. other than that, all i can say about the damper settings is it...

    KW competition coilovers

    there are two different competition sets- 2 way and 3 way. kw don't actually sell variant 3's for the clio, except for the v6. i spoke to yozza about the v3's they have and i think he said they have them specially built. i have a set of the 2 way competition dampers, and they are built to your...
