Yeh i can imagine.
Is it still alot lower then normal?
I would say about an inch at the back and the liners had to come out at the front as it was rubbing.
It catches on my driveway now so definately lower. As Andy says it was to make it handle better not to deck it. They are as low as they will go on the back anyway.
They retail at about £1250 ish but the group buy Gary organised got them down to £900. I think Gary can still get them cheaper.

matt it is lower and does benefit from it.
at the end of the day a cupped clio is a still a compromise. I think The ledas are much harder but still supple enough not to be harsh. This gives much better body control in corners and when braking. The car feels much sharper with more feel.
Looking at the Leda against the OEM they are in a different league in terms of quality plus the twin tubed shocks with adjustable damping would be too expensive to put on a car in this price range as standard.
The cupped clio handles well but IMO the coilovers make it much much better

Not at the back with the 6" springs it uses.
You can get 5" and 4" springs but the minimum rate these come in, from leda, is 300lb which would be too much for me.
The dimensions of the rear spring are a standard size which you can get easily, unlike the balooned out spring you usually get on the rear, so it would be possible to go lower with a diff spring length.
IMO if you are just interested in decking it go for something cheaper then these.
lol @ you two^
As Mark stated, i can get Leda suspension at good prices. Anyone thats interested PM or email me- fast_car182@hotmail.com

Thanks for all the comments.
Lucas they are alot of cash but they are definately money well spent.
I took about a 10 mile detour tonight on my way back from work even in the pouring rain I was having that much fun! They are a major improvement over the standard cars handling.
I have got a more road biased setup with 200lb front and 250lb rear springs which IMO is fine for the road.

Sorry, not trying hijack the thread, but if you don't want to splash out on Coilovers Lucas, the apex springs lower the car about the same and cost a 1/10th of the price (unless you snap the abs cable, then its nearer 1/9 )
People have mentioned that it can cause muchos stress on the dampers...only time will tell I guess, but I'm extemely pleased with the handling vs. comfort. Only very slightly firmer than standard.

Thanks to Andy for fitting. I even got some chips for my dinner although I did have to make the tea!
There were some very nice Renaults being fettled in the work shop a couple of 5 turbos a V6, valvers, mccardel's 182? with brembos, recaros and half an engine! a silver ph1 172 (nice motor) being setup and a couple of Audi S3's and to round it all off the demo car which was a very very quick car. If you are into your Renaults it is definately worth having a look around (you should start organising tours Andy).

so would a trophy see any advantage fitting these our is the trophy suspension better? i dont have a trophy just intrested to see if they would be better?
There would still be compromise in the Sachs setup on the trophy but it wouldnt be alot (ride height is definately one) and due to it being a remote canister system it would probably perform as well if not better than the standard leda kit. However, Leda can offer a remote canister upgrade for similar money to the Sachs kit on the trophy.
I have driven the Trophy....
a 182 with the Bilstein coilovers on handles better on track than the trophy... (not just my opinion... a few people have tested it)
The Leda kit will allow you to go softer than the Billies and I can confirm also handle better than the Trophy, based on the fact that reviews of the Ledas so far are comparable if not better in some areas than the Bilsteins
