brilliant guys cheers, ive always been un happy with how high the front sits on non RS clios on -60mm springs but thought this wouldnt be so much of a problem with the heavy diesel engine, and i was right. cheers guys!
i dont understand why people would buy a performance car and then put some cheap lowering springs on it? id save your cash and get a set of eibachs for it or just leave it standard
guaranteed my 172 would destoy any 1.2 coilovered or not down a backroad.
as for the replica i still dont see teh point unless your doing it around a DCi then i can see it!
dont bother trying a 182 exhaust on a non 182 shell unless your chopping the wheel well out they always look crap from...

well as said sportlines are just springs where coilovers are springs and dampers, but the standard dampers in my opinion are perfect for fast road, a set of slightly stiffer and lower springs like the eibachs match them perfectly as they give you a little less roll and a little bit more...
the only way id think about a replica is if it was built around a 1.5 DCi engine so you would have all the looks with the cheap running costs.
a 1.4 isnt really going to be any better on petrol than a 172 is! where a dci is a cool money saving idea! plus you can pick them up mega cheap and...
