I went from 250's to 350lb on my Gaz and it didnt seem to make a world of difference so have Gaz stiffen up the bump for me :) handle nicely now.
Just for the record Gaz's customer service has been amazing, refurbed both my rears last month as one had leaked they collected and sent them back...
I hate braided lines mine mocked me severely failed at the first one :( might give them another go later.
What lines have you got bud? i went for Hel and so far they have lived up to their name lol
I drove of from the pub last night reached for the aircon (which i never do as hate sacrificing power for comfort) and after about 5mins i was like F**k me this aircon aint very good!! looked down to find i hadnt put the aircon on oh what classic jappery neadless to say hilarity ensued and...
tricky really as new to second hand they can drop so much in price and you can get so much more for your pennies AST get rave reviews all day long.
Ive got Gaz :) they dont get such good reviews but ive had them 2 years and really like them :)
should have a nice range available at that price, maybe second hand H&R's or second hand AST's? the later may still be a touch out of that price range though
coilovers go as low as you like :) ive had the front of my clio so low i can just fit my fist under the splitter.. its fine until you meet a speed bump or pot hole lol
this seems a close match :)

what size leggras you got bud? matte black wheels = win in my book :)
I bought my wheels in matte black but got a phone call saying eerr uumm we've sold the last set in black will anthracite do? grrr :P
All im suggesting is.. you put coils on a clio its guna handle amazingly im not sure i can see the over all benefit of corner weighting etc if its not a knife edge tuned track beast.
hmmmmm each to their own bud, what happens when your car breaks down and you have to raise your suspension to get it towed to the garage?
Or when you buy topmounts and fit them yourself?
Or fancy lowering the height of your height adjustable suspesion?
Or you fancy a higher spring rate...
yea put mugen and type r in the same sentence and prepare to pay big bucks lol
That said, a 12 year old ek9 civic type r will still fetch 6k+ soooo cant see the clio keeping its value like that lol
half the price of a mugen type r now thats a stupidly priced car!!! i know what your saying and you would have to be airing in the side of insanity to put that kinda cash down on a clio but im pretty sure it happens so consider yourself lucky you arent one of those people lol...
similarly...
what coils? i ran my gaz for 18months before attempting to tackle camber... which happened tonight haaa :) in my opinion i would run the coils on there own and enjoy the improved suspension and in a month or so add camber bolts and be blown away all over again, they make such a difference but if...
i reckon its a blue flame thats been fettled with, i watched the guy make my exhaust from 2 silencers and a length of tube, in the right hands anything is possible :P
