Whoops!! Much damage? Block paving is treacherous in this weather.

Yeh, as Adam has said, Its seems you have all the obvious mods in hand. Possibly add camber bolts for some adjustment? Once complete make sure you get the geometry checked/set up and you're ready to go!

Cooksport lowering springs give a decent drop and good performance. I have no problems recommending them.

I have a spare spring removed from my Cup... someone must've convinced a previous owner it needed one.... Id recommend bleeding and then re-assessing.

Have you bled them recently? Could be something as simple as air in the line. For how cheap and easy it is to do this its worth ruling out. any other symptoms? low pedal?/spongy/grinding/pull to one side?

Defo shouldnt have a spring mechanism. Is it just the rears that are under performing or is it poor braking in general?

It's still worth checking the inner/outer rods and ball joints... They can make such a big difference to the. You need to become a member. Best £12 you can spend on your clio...

Looks great! You have skills with that carbon wrap! Good call on removing the sticker under the brake light too :)

If you're looking to spend a little money on your car I'd recommend making sure all the suspension/steering components are in good condition and replacing as necessary. This will have a much greater positive impact on the car £ for £. For track use, usual mods i.e. decent brake...

Eibach ones are 1.75 degree iirc. If the car is lowered then you should be able to get more like 2 to 2.5 I think (got mine from Ears Motorsport) rear shims can be had from Pure Motorsport (as above) or you could get some of the cambered spacers that are currently being sold by Ed.innit in the...

Id spend £12 on ClioSport membership to get access to the guides etc. best money you'll spend on your car!

The pH of the washing solution would have little effect on the growth/stability of the bacterial colonies within the tank (unless you're talking litres and litres of very high or low) pH 5-9 should be OK. Certain synthetic detergents however are known to have very effective...

Ah yes, it is on 182's... sorry.

Im pretty sure the "book" setting is 0 degree toe each side but a lot of people recommend 5 to 10 minutes toe out

Im lucky enough to have a ramp/workshop at work but being able to hire them seems like a cool idea.

Very happy with my Cooksports but Ive never used Eibach.

Thats very kind of you. Which wrap did you use? did you remove the front/rear Diamonds to wrap them?

The Renault diamond on the front grill and rear boot release.. Usually plasticy fake chromosexual. Yeh, I live right the top of Sienna though.... The Clio is in the unit at work currently too :-/. What other plans do you have for the car?

Top job with the carbon wrapping! It looks really neat!! How are you at doing front/rear diamonds? The wheels look nice too! I'm surprised I haven't see you around since Dakota, you only live around the corner...

How long would you need them for?

Glad thats helpful....Yours could be a different issue but tre's/ball joints seem the most obvious and cheapest place to start. I'd have a really good look at the inner tie rods too, they can give similar symptoms to a broken steering rack. Best of luck :)

Had a similar issue with mine. Replacing the track rod end made the biggest difference. I did ball joints and arb bushes afterwards and the problem seems to be solved.

BTM or Diamond Motors. have a look in the trader section, lots of positive feedback.

Re: Anyone local (mechanic wise), in or near Mansfield, suspension kit fitting enquir To be honest its not a difficult job even for an amateur, assuming you have a means of jacking the car and possess a basic tool kit. Alternatively, Id have no reservations in recommending Mick at Diamond Motors

Awesome. Thank you! If that's the case I suspect a previous owner must have done this. Should it be removed? Cheers

Could someone clarify, or post a pic maybe? of exactly what the Cup load sensing valve looks like in comparison to a non cup? I have a cup and I am certain there is spring/rod in between the linkage. Should it be there?

Cooksport for sure! Over the moon with mine.

Some people report that the max discs eat pads too... As Simon says, Standard Brembo are fine. I have Ferodo DS2500 pads on mine and they seem OK but I am sure others will have opinions that differ.

as above really. my cup is on 72k, balljoints were clearly past their best but the wishbone bushes are still really tight... when this changes I'll have no reservations in fitting the new style powerflex bushes though.

^ lol at this. that will be effectively what mine will have done... including Cooksport springs! just need to fit them when I get a free weekend :D
