With your budget not the above!

Would suggest Bilstiens (good price here http://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-clio-2-rs-172-172-cup-182-bilstein-b14-coilover-kit.html ) or H&R!

Danny at 519 also stocks Spax kits which seem like good value.

Have a word with Dan, the Spax kits he's doing are good and they're on discount at the moment http://www.519automotive.co.uk/ menu on the left. Great service, and he knows his stuff. Just make sure you call him and don't pm him, Dan does turn green and his clothes shred if you do!

Got a couple of Spax kits in stock to fit 172's currently, all ready to go

Ktec branded suspension is fine, but it's budget kit. They wouldn't try to tell you anything else. Martin at K-tec runs spax on his own car.

Brilliant.

I had them briefly on my old 172 and they are fairly s**te, they definitely don't ride better than Spax or Billys but are ok for around £200, not £300.

I got bilstein B14s on mine. They needed a refurb after just over 2 years. Just had them done at a cost of just under £300. Taking the H&R's are the same as bilstein just a sticker difference I'd try the spax. Don't get me wrong I really like the billies but a bit angry they only lasted that long. Plus spax have more adjustment available with damping and a rear coilover option
