172 Cup - KW coilovers fitted

[gex23]

After an afternoon supervising Pepsi and Gray while they fitted some KW V1 coilovers to my Cup (cheers lads), I thought it was only right I got some photos of it :

Hope you like

Cheers

Looks ok but another 10mm would see that perfect.

 

[JCMON]

how is the ride like?

 

[gex23]

Cheers - front or back? Im unsure if the backs will drop a lot if at all.

 

[Jamie]

Loving the exhaust.

Car looks nice imo. Not into the "decked" look. More important how it handles.

 

[AlexG]

Front and back imo. Still looks great though. That exhaust very very nice.:approve:

 

[gex23]

^^^ Jamie - I agree tbh - I didn't buy them with the intention of just slamming the car as far as possible as that would ruin the point of owning an RS clio imo.

Handlings spot on though - firm and assured in the corners but not crashy

 

[mike1pow]

did you just bolt them on as they came or did you adjust them beforehand? thinking of getting coilies for my cup

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks better.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good to me.

I thought you would oblige......... What exhaust is it?

 

[gex23]

Thanks for the feedback

I thought you would oblige......... What exhaust is it?

:S

Its a Piper cat-back system, 2.5" internal diameter with a 3" outwardly rolled tailpipe and the recess cut in by myself

 

[Curley]

You trusted pepsi with suspension!!?! ... me too

Id say 10mm lower at the front, i wouldnt know how much that would affect the handling though.

 

[Jamie]

Thanks for the feedback

After I said it was a nice exhaust is all I meant.

 

[Gray]

Looking good Anthony!

The KW rears do not lower much at all.. that is set to max low! But it looks perfect tbh.

Looking at those photos the front could do with another -10mm, But it does look alot better in real life!

How was the drive home?

 

[ForceIndia]

Good work fella's, my KW's should be on this week, can't wait tbH. Looks very good!

 

[Gray]

We should have a KW mini-meet

 

[Ash87]

sits nice, you got blue tints?

Are these V1 or V2?

I am also waiting for my KW V1 Basic to arrive......I can´t wait!!!!

Looks sweet!!!

 

[escotty90]

Tidy as f**k m8!!

Nice to see a well kept motor. Keep it up dude

 

[Sym0n]

Looks good mate, but oddly I thought it looked lower yesterday then it does in the pictures.

 

[-J-]

Got my Cup on KW V2's Very impressed with the coilovers myself -

 

[jesus]

Nice, I'd take the RS badges off too!

 

[Pep]

Looks good dude, nice job yesterday in the sun!
Shame they don't make it quite as fast as my bike on a straight though....

 

[Guppy]

Love the Silver cup!

A real clean one!

 

[Ali]

Good choice fella!

 

[alex-avfc]

Looks excellent that. What paint have you used on the calipers?

 

[scott1205]

exhaust looks good as well

 

[gex23]

The drive home was great tbh, very impressed with them and they make me a lot more confident to push the car in the corners

I agree about lowering the front a tad more - for some reason it looks a lower in real life, wlthough I don't see how the photos can lie lol:S

Re : The caliper paint - I'm unsure what paint it is, as they were painted by a previous owner - although they are going black or silver next

Cheers for the comments
