Believe me - the handling on a std 172 is pish compared to one on adjustable coilovers.
I wouldnt even be contemplating this.... buy them!
Oh, but I drive my cars hard so need upgraded suspension.....I also have my Clio as a weekend/track car...... do you want a comfy runnaround??? if so...
Its upto you matey - personally I prefer the below the bumper group N look of the one I have got, but the recessed one is far more practical for everyday use due to clearance issues.
My Clio is a track day car that only gets used on weekends [if that! lol] so I can live with a slammed ride...
The system below the bumper - like on Yoz's TB'd Cup.
However their new recessed system [that is on their website] looks fantastic in the flesh [Yoz showed me the new stock] plus the 182 system's welds are stunning.
Yep will have to get some alignment sorted out!
Sorted out my grinding noise issue when turning left - raised right hand side ride height, tuned down the camber, all sorted now.
I havent managed to do the other side yet - maybe thats why its out????
Hi mate,
I have already got the exhaust system, just popping up there so that they can fit it for me.
They have done an awful lot on my car now.
Keep an eye on here [as I will be updating it with the exhaust]

FK's will go so low at the front that you sump will be touching the floor.
I have just had to raise mine slightly because the driveshafts were stressed by my increased camber.
As for the garage charging you an extar 2/3hours - tell them to stop and do it yourself. Just pull the liners out...
Im getting the Yozza Ragnotti exhaust fitted tomorrow [by Yoz] its a full decatted system straight though.
Its one of the lightest systems I have ever held!
This is not an accurate way of measuring the bhp of a modification. All cars have different bhp.... you can buy a good one - and a bad one.
That car that measured less could have either had someting wrong with it or was a 'bad un'.
The only way you can gauge how much bhp/torque a mod...
Im not used to pass rides... especially when someone else is driving the car I just spend £K's on on some greasy roads in the middle of the night! He surprised me how quick my little trolley shopper was - it felt much quicker than my VX! I need to get some hours behind the wheel now - totally...
I know - everytime I come up your neck of the woods your always elsewhere!
Did Yoz tell you about him making me soil my pants the last time I met him! lol
Ive booked Friday off work :)
Oh and your V6 is coming on fantastically - Id love to see it in the flesh... How long do you think the...
That silver grooved washer stops the piston of the shock from entering the cabin on bump.... so in theory the rear shocks are currently not working!
Get it fitted ASAP!
Thanks guys!
Just took my badges out of the heater - looking dappa :)
Will fit them tomorrow after work ;)
Just need to get my straight through Yozzasport Ranotti fitted now!
Gaz He buffed it good! :rasp:
They are still hardening so not on the car yet. They look good - but could have done a better job if I did it again. I used some of my old Lotus Elise touch up paint to do the silver detailing. I will post pics when on.;)
Oh and the washer end is broken... Doh!
New post!:-
Wheels, Suspension, Induction, and Badges ... Whoa!

Get a Breaker bar for your socket.... You can get it from your local Halfords or Machinemart.
Or... If your a pikey use your wheel nut remover bar with extendable arm [£5 from your local cheepo place] ;)
Like I said on your other thread I popped the little barstewards head off [bolt] it soon came off! lol
Oh and you will need a breaker bar not a ratchet for extra force.
You need a torx set to do the interior.
Take the roof lining out!
