Anyone know wher eyu can get the same suspension (coilovers I imagine) as per the clio cup racers - anyone know who supplies them or did anyone get a good look at the cup racer on the renault trackday?

This is an exert from AutoExpress: "...Fire the engine and its clear this Clio is a hard-edged machine. The exhaust sounds louder and the throttle feels much more responsive thanks to a series of modifications made to the engine management system. Slot into first gear, and the clutch feels a...
