197 Cup dampers are a little softer but if you are wanting some compliance to the ride going for RS200 standard dampers may be the answer.
Personally I think the H&R Spring design gives a harsh ride compared to Grams and Eibach. I think due to their tendancy to usea small amount of coils and...
I dont think theres really a super quiet option thats cheap
The Supersprint will be tolerable as they have to pass certain german rules to get their TUV approval but they are expensive. Its a smaller 54mm bore which helps too.
I would get a decent straight through oval silencer and get it added...
You want separate compression and rebound?
Not a standard feature if so.
Koni sport ones are adjustable damping. They will work with uprated springs. I'd probably run them full soft for road use though.
Most companies focused on coilover kits for the Clio so theres not really a lot available
If you are going to strip the car out you will not want springs and standard dampers. You will complain the car sits too high
(It will raise as the chassis is lightened)
Save up for some coilovers and get a firm spring rate. BC Racing coilovers are very well priced. You will want a 9kg front...
Fresh is what its about. Like for like replacement is worth getting done. Personally I refresh all vehicle fluids when I buy a car. Gearbox, engine, brakes etc.
Get it running tip top before its driven hard.
Id get some good brake fluid that will cope with high track temps. Then some pads to do...
But for road use Martin is right
Bilstein is probably one of the best on the market.

They work well if you get the right spring rates
We sell a lotof them. We do them with solid camber adjustable top mounts for that price.
If you want help getting the right kit for you - get them from us :D...
There is only about 10mm difference between the two kits with the front springs - rear lowering is about the same.. The Sportine kit is usually a bit firmer on the rear which is better for more spirited driving when you hit compressions in the road.
I can help you with supply of both Eibach...
I wouldnt want to tow with a 1.6 Diesel Seat!
Wait till you get to a hill and you will cry!
Also the wheelbase is short which means if theres an issue its not that stable.
Bigger is always better when towing. Sounds like Korean is the way forward
Having an interesting discussion about a new suspension kit in development.
Are people really bothered with having a full rear coilover?
You can adjust the rear platforms so can still cornerweight.
But if the damper and rear spring rate is not bespoke for each customer does it really matter...
Hello! Eibach Sportlines are good but have a soft initial spring rate. You will find you will get a bit more chassis roll vs my Grams springs.
The Grams springs also lower a bit more so that helps the centre of gravity and general stability as weight transfers front to rear.
Its not more absorbant of water so I think its unsubstantiated rumor. However heat and hard use does effect all fluids.
Interestingly 80% of all brake fluids are made at one factory (to different manufacturer specs of course)
I also supply The ATE.
Its about the minimum I'd put in for the Clio as the small brakes get hot.

Try it. If you end up needing something a bit more heat resistant go for the Motul RBF660...
All the spring kits lower about the same so you wont be surprised by the height the Eibach kits will lower.
I think set the car up for road use. You will like the non-cup dampers with the Eibach Springs. Eibach like to use very soft initial spring rates to absorb the worst of the bumps on...
I'm not a fan of using spherical bearings on road cars simply for maintenance sake. They dont like dirt.
For a track car you still need to think about dirt after wet events or if you drive on the green circuit round the edge of the grey one...
We do them.
If you are buying other parts from us they are easy to add to a box
