Hi,
thought it would be nice to compare notes in a central place.
i'll start

Clio 182
trackday set
set to full height
dampers at 12 clicks allround
Camber 1,30'
Toe 12'
Pure topmounts/strutbrace
whiteline ARB

very good ride, no harshness (occasional clunk from the topmounts when hitting a deep hole)
only hit a few roundabouts, but car feels very surefooted.

Clio 182
14 clicks from soft
Rear adjusters lowest setting
Front 12mm above lowest thread
Camber: 2 degrees
Toe out: 1mm
OE top mounts
Whiteline RARB: 1st setting (softer?)

any pics?
how does it deal with speedbumps?

I've posted a thread in Clio Media, i tried out the speed bumps this morning and it doesn't feel too bad, not as harsh as the GAZ setup but I couldn't adjust those. Only fitted the kit a couple of days ago and not been out in it to see what they're really like. I'm going to Blyton Park in 2 weeks so ill spend the morning tweaking and give them a good workout.

Ph1 172
Trackday set up.
1.5' camber, 20mins toe out.
Pretty low, unsure exact measurements.
No idea on clicks, but I have mine pretty hard.
Ast topmounts running full castor.
whiteline on hardest.

Im pretty useless as I dont know exact things lol

Cannot wait to fit mine! They came on Friday after being told it would be around a months wait, but they turn't up to my suprise after two weeks. I'v got sportlines and an ARB at the moment and thats a nice set up.

I'm fitting the rears tonight with Rhys Beal then move onto the fronts at the weekend along with new track rod ends and ball joints so it should feel like a new car if not, even better!
Oh and I just bought some pure motorsport solid topmounts too, to go along with the front and maybe one day buy the brace to match.

Tracking and camber is going to be roughly to same as you bozo but dont want to much tyre kill as I drive to work everyday which is a 50 mile round trip and have AD08's so dont want to kill them anytime soon!

Spacers will be next on payday to give a little poke. What do people run on a Cup with standard Turini's? 15-20mm front and 5mm rear?

off topic i know, but has anybody ordered a set of the track day sets recently? if so, how long was the wait?

Just under 3 weeks for me.

so how did you get on?

Like em?

I havent fitted them all yet mate, done the rears the other night and said in my Progress thread how good they felt, and they serouisly do! Feel so much more planted on the ground and less twitchy at the back when breaking etc than before. But then again I could of proberly done with new shocks anyway as mine have done 60k and not sure they have been changed, they didn't look it.

Only thing is the rears sound a bit "rickaty" if thats the word, sounds like an old bed when doing sexy time when I drive slowly or over speed bumps. Spoke to a few people and they told be to spray the bump stops and shocks to give them some lubrication, havent yet done that has I have hardly drove the car, but im thinking of spraying some silicon spray on them, if thats the right stuff to do it with?

Hopefully fitting the fronts over the next few days so will report back when done
Placed my top mounts on them today tho for a trail fit.

It goes,
Spax collet, pure spacer, pure top mount, put nut which then meets up with the spacer when tight.
Is that the correct order? I think it is

Also anyone got an tips on drilling the holes in the body work straight so one of the holes is at the front of the car?

Cheers

 

[bozothenutter]

that's how i did mine.

my rears are squeaky too, teflonspray helped.

 

[Scott H.]

Awesome! Cheers mate.

Ill spray the rears this afternoon before my drive home from work and see if that fixes it

bump stop rubber on the rear is a slightly too tight fit when they're brand new so it's squeeks when it moves on the shaft. Bit of lube (spray grease) and it stops totally, and they loosen slightly with use.

Ahh that explains the IMMENSELY annoying noise on the back on my bus haha

Haven't noticed it for a while now anyway.
