Got any pics?!

Thanks, but the offset is the most important bit as it determines how far the wheel sits in/out from the car. I dont suppose your 17s have 7x17 ET ?? stamped on them anywhere?

Clio 172 Mk2 - I know the wheels are 7x16 but whats the offset? My wheels are stamped 7x16, then 48.5. Surely theyre not 7x16 ET 48.5?!! Does anyone know the correct offset, and whether or not it should be changed when running 17s?

How much did the Eibachs lower the car in practice? It certainly sounds like they have improved on an otherwise excellent, firm but somewhat lofty ride height as standard Has anyone had any experience with other kits, GT Tunings in particular?

NickRead - what make of system do you run? Have you had any detrimental effects from running NOS as yet? Is the power delivery ON NOS brutal?

...if so, which kit did you use, where did you buy it, how much was it, how much did it lower the car, and what were the results (better/worse than std)?

Just spoken to GT Tuning, who do their own, track-day-proven, suspension kit for the 172. £399 fitted, including re-setting all the geometry and checking/tighening all the suspension. Lowers the car 25mm up front and 30mm on the rear. And, they reckon it stops the tail wagging!! Quite...

Could you send me some before and after pics too? jjw@cwcom.net Ta very much!!

I can ask my mate - he races in the Clio Cup....has a 4 car team this year!

GirlRacer - I know! I popped into a Renault garage to see the 172 at the weekend and the exhaust is tucked right up under the bumper! Bet the after-market exhaust companies dont like it?!! So, whats the verdict - which after-market exhaust is best?

What do you recommend? I read somewhere that the standard system is very good - is it worth the extra expense/hassle fitting a new one?

Ive got a spare NOS kit which was bought from the Wizards of NOS, and am wondering what itd be like on a 172 :-) Has anyone got any real world experiences to share, and maybe even power curves/ 1/4 mile times on and off gas?
