You need to drive the car to feel how good suspension is. bein driven gives you no idea of feel or how the car turns in etc etc. it didnt move an inch means absolutely nothing at all!!!!!!!!

when will more details be released on this new kit?
you need to call Andy as they are made to the customers requirements as in the case for me as i will be doing a lot of track work and i am running toyo r888 tyres i have had some different valves in the damper than some one that whants to run normal road tyres on track and it is the same for some one that whants them for just road use .

there are three different variants with the dampers as well oil filled / oil and gas filled / the oil and gas filled with a remote gas reservoir

Well they best have mine and Homer's ready is weak or I'm looking/wonting my money back :mad:

Strange they have taken so long!!! Changed my mind now anyway.
Within 4 weeks a company which i will reveal this coming week have come to the uk to visit there sole distributor. Taken measurements and sizes off my car etc. done all the work they need to the car to design the coilovers. also changed the rear suspension design. they have been made and delivered to the uk and are now fitted to my car. they are in kind of prototype form i suppose as i am testin them for spring weights and damper settings etc. for the road They are adjustable too on the tops of the struts. I will also be at cadwell with both the sole distributor/fitter and supplier of them to test them on track. the product is complete but i am carryin out these tests as they have never been made for the clio and want to be able to sell an out of the box product. so far so good :)
I will post a full run down of them this coming week with phots etc.
WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

Sounds like all the options that were avaliable to me when I ordered my LEDA's except for different valves in the dampers for the type of tyre you use ... do you drive your car to circuits and use it on the road?

Is this the famous kit that comes with a free promotional cloak and dagger? Designed and built totally in house with even the ore being mined by GDi themselves at a secret location?
