CLIO 172 & CUP 30mm

£85.00+vat (£99.88) ... Kit

http://www.k-tecracing.com/products/clio2/suspension/lowering_springs.jpg

k-Tec Racing now have this superb lowering spring kit available for the 172 and Cup which has proved to give improved handling and looks to both the 172 and Cup models. The kit consists of 4 lowered and uprated springs which lower the car a genuine 30mm all round. We have had customers call us and tell us how impressed they are with the cars handling with these springs fitted, compared to other aftermarket springs they have tried. Even when fitted to the fine handling Cup we have had reports of improvements over the standard set up.

If they improve the handling that much then surely that would mean the cup/172 handling is crap?

Im sure reno would have put this cheap set of springs on the std car if it really improves the handling?

Could be wrong - just a thought!

 

[Tom]

lol they put a cheap set on as std!!

GET EIBACHS.

Yeah but theyd charge you 400 squid to replace the std set!

OK, Probably wont get the above then. Chhers for your thoughts.

Seriously though guys (and this is a question) is it possible to massivly improve the handling on a cup just be changig the suspension?

 

[Slugger]

Dont forget Renault have comfort to think about as well unfortunately.

[JAY172]

interested to know what the rides like with those k-tec springs tom.

Ride can be a bit harsh. depends on wot level of comfort you like. Its not really bad. But you do feel the bumps a bit.

 

[JAY172]

i want some springs that will lower it quite a bit without dislocating my spine everytime i drive it.how harsh is it?

 

[Ad]

Its definitley not that bad, it doesnt pull the steering anymore over bumps, and hasnt yet created anymore rattles, which cant be bad. Am thinking bout getting KTR coilovers, so maybe selling mine. Not sure yet.

Were bouts are you based??? Im wigan. More than happy to show you if its not too far, if I ever manage to get to a northwest meet then maybe there.

 

[JAY172]
