172 cup running KW V2s at the front; what would people recommend as the best rear setup (springs/dampers/arb) to match the front. Mainly used on track and fast road. Im on a reasonably tight budget, so whilst Cup Racer rear coilovers would be nice ;-) I've got to look a little bit more down...

I'm looking for some advice on my brakes; which appeared to have warped discs and now have "got better" by themselves. Basically, I fitted some new Brembo HCs onto used DS2500 just before a trackday at Oulton. I managed to do some road miles to wear them in a bit, but I didn't do the same...

I'm not doubting that people are getting good results with this setup. However, can someone explain why you would put an additional trailing arm-link when the existing trailing arm setup has a bloody big steel beam linking the two arms? Would it be worthwhile just welding something the...

Adding a V6 air box into the engine bay and im looking to slightly re-arrange the engine bay. Why is the ECU encased in a really thick metal enclosure? Is it for strength (can't see why) or to reduce RF interference? Anyway, am I safe to remove it from this? Andy

I'm looking for advice of what rear suspension setup to run. I've currently got a mixed setup of KW V2s at the front and the rear spring and dampers from FK Highsport coil over kit. The car is just used for track days and I feel that the rear setup is a bit too soft compared to the front. I...

Hi, the boot locking solenoid has died on my Ph2 172 cup. Does the Ph1 use the same part? Andy

What sort of spring rates and geometry should I run if I plan to put slicks on? Clio 172 Cup Andy

Hi, I have a 172 cup, pretty much only used for trackdays. What oil (make / grade / weight) do people recommend? As for oil filter, should I just go for the standard Renault one? Cheers, Andy

I've seen a few comments recently saying KW v2 are too soft for track. For mostly track car, will changing the front springs be adequate? and if so, what weight should I get and where from? On a related question; what rear spring and damper Setup would you use with your KWs

Hi, Since lowering the car on coilovers (not stupidly low though, maybe 25-35mm) I seem to get a lot more torque steer. The alignment was done by the garage when they fitted the coilovers. Do you think this increase in torque steer is due to negative camber? Or would it be...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on what suspension setup I should got for on my Clio 172 Cup. The car will be mainly used for track and initially budgets were around £200-£500 for either new dampers & springs or cheap coilovers. However, I'm now thinking that I should up the budget and go for...
