I'll sleep better now. Thanks. 😂

I only deal in lbs or N. To lazy to faff converting. Lol

I had 450 fronts and 475 rears. The front needed upping to 500 and the rears dropping to 450/425. But that was all down to my own preference mate. Start at 450's all round and go from there would be my advice.

Yeah but it'll be f**king lively at the rear!

I reckon it'll be awful on the road with 550lb springs! You certainly won't be doing any road blasts in it, as you'll be spat into a ditch!

Well I'd get a quote from renault Wolverhampton as well personally mate. They may be cheaper.... Coilovers ain't as bad as your mate is making them out to be buddy, trust me. You may just get a few knocks from them that's all.

Yeah it's on 20mm h&r spacers front and rear mate. Lol! Yeah I know what you're saying! I've just had a full set of ds2500's from GeorgeRTR on here, not because I needed them, but because I'd decided I wanted them all round! 🙈 The pads that are fitted are still like brand new! Flol

I'm on cup shocks and h&r springs. It's a very good combo, and also offers a nice ride height reduction.

Anything bilstein will give good handling and ride tbh mate. From what I've read, they're slightly harsher than the oem cup pack spring/damper combo, but nothing horrendous. There's a few guys over on 197.net that run them, and @cliosport-carl runs them iirc?

Well I'd say that out of all the hubs we've done, there's about 70% that are showing signs of elongation around the ball joint pivot. This was why we spent a lot of time and resources to get it right. We've never had one fail either, other than in exceptional circumstances, and I'm talking a...

The pin will be your issue mate. They can elongate the hole in the hub using the standard bottom ball joint!! Also, cup racer bearings aren't cheap to buy either.

There's only 2 black gordini clio 200's. Both are currently up for sale as well!

Pics aren't working @RMDavis

Yeah but that was different. Flol!

Money received mate. Lol!! Done that many a time myself! I've done a f4r belt change by torchlight too. 🙈

Good man!

I've pm'd you mate regarding your hubs.

There's some Ast 5100's in the for sale section now @JKING3008 @AdamCup The seller is @james alford. There's also some 60mm spaced 4100's and the seller is @mattsouthall Both of them are good guys.

@Naylor28 fair play for not biting to some of the replies you've had in here, but the quote I'm posting is by far the best and most helpful one you'll get. :up:

If his megane system is anything to go by, ££'s!

If you remove the pre-cat and fit a toyosport exhaust manifold, they're a lot louder mate.

And the one at the hairpin mate. Flol!

Well in that case, I'd consider the rears at 100/110, and the fronts at 100. The rear end will be lively with 120's at the rear, even in the dry. Once you've generated some heat in the rear tyres it should be fine, but it's just having the confidence to build that heat.

@r0ss172 give this fella a call and have a chat with him. http://www.1stclassalloys.co.uk/ He does everything from high end to poverty spec cars, and his workmanship is 2nd to none. He only does powder coating, but if anyone can do the MR rims, he's your man.

Are you using this car on the road as well mate?

Yeah I think it would work really well with the black rims.

The damping on the ast's will be night and day better than the spax. On my old cup I ran 450 up front and 475 at the rear. I also drove it on the road with that setup, and not once did I require a gum shield.

Job for the winter I think. :up:

Well it is a genuine cup racer that he's got, so yeah I agree. Lol! He's had a standard back box fitted to it though so he can do normal noise limit uk trackdays.

Oh yeah you were going to do one a few weeks back! No turning back for me anyway as the akra will be here next week. Kid. Sweet shop. :up:
