Instead of the suspension i think i'll buy some winter tyres (pirelli wintersport w190)...the damage is done but i don't like how the car handles on cold and damp tarmac.
Got a problem with some oversteer, caused by dirt and leaves. Let's just side the rear of the car got a bit too happy and I put down a road sign. It left its sign just after the right door... The suspensions are on standby.
I'm going for Eibach proline (more comfort than sport) and Koni Yellow, used with very low milage, 400 euros+shipping...i hope that the seller doesn't change idea! In a few weeks i should have they mounted, ready for the first trackday at monza!
By now I have stock suspensions and the eibach camber bolts. A friend of mine told me that his Koni Yellows has already teh holes that bring the camber up to 2°...is that right? So if i mount them i should remove the bolts right?
Well, if you put on a Brembo Kit or similar you risk a lot here, if a remember right 350 euros, and you have to remove them and bring the car to the revision center, like your mot. Same for everything without omologation, like rollbar, exhausts etc...
Are coilovers more delicate, like rust etc, than seperate springs and dampers? Maybe the adjustments can stick? My car is on the street every night, the garage is use for the nissan and the mini.
You need traction control on a clio only if you use the throttle like a switch. The car is very predictable and with decent tyres doesn't slip too much on the wet.
Handbrakes turn on the other way...let's just say you need some sensibility on the mountain roads when it's slippery!
You...
Fred has just suggested koni-eibach or kw v1. K-tec told me that they can specify different spring rates for the gaz, but it takes 2-3 weeks.
What is the effect on a koni yellow-eibach setup to turn up the damping and can it be done without removing them?
The KW V1 has only the heigh...
The difference is not worth it! With the 195 you have a little bit less grip, but the car is more agile and faster in a straight line.
I'd go for different sizes than 195/45 only for semislicks or slicks, which aren't available in that size.
I put some red stuffs on the rear, just to try them, braided lines and ferodo 5.1 fluid. Still no trackday but on the road they are perfect and not noisy.
