    Flamer 172 - her name is ruby ;)

Seemed when I bought it to be in good shape as the previous owner was a retired guy who...

    Springs and shocks

    Another question on suspension, Just ordered some cooksport springs and after a set of 172 cup shocks. I was wondering, would normal 172 shocks be ok? I mainly drive on B roads, not for track use. Cheers

    40mm??

    Just looking at getting a set of springs for my ph2 clio 172. After some opinions, seen some 40mm Apex lowering springs for a reasonable price, wondered what these would be like? Would the ride be too harsh? Would it be too low with a set of 16" turinis on them? Cheers in advance
