im only gettin the spoiler colour coded paddy, i just black the bump strips, dont wanna get too much paint involved wi it lol............personal preference id say it has a little bit more to drop......only fitted them 24hrs ago

hehe looking nice rob, they are the best mod for a low power clio, now go and attack them roundabouts lol

ps how do u find the rides on the -40mm springs?

 

[R3OBC]

the ride is mint! its actually better than standard!!!! And when u attack a roundabout..........oohhhhhhh lol, grip n go, feels miles better! It has to be said tho, the standard spring set-up must handle mell, its just it rolled a bit much! Ive cleaned the car now but need some sun to take some proper pictures, Rob...............just waiting on my cliosport membership n sticker now!!

nice one r30bc, after a few weeks i noticed my car was much lower.

the rides good innit

 

[R3OBC]

thats what it like to hear John!!! yeah the ride is mint! felt too comfy, i thought that when i chucked it about it would be soft...........but it corners flat and with nice feeling!!! LOVE IT!!!!

 

[theICEman]

Yeah, the road holding is awesome! I had problems with mine initially cos my tracking was out by miles - 10degrees on the nearside, 15 degrees on the offside, so the wheels were pointing in completely different directions, made the handling very edgy! But Ive recently had that sorted and Im delighted with the handling from the Apex springs. Mine definitely bedded in and look a lot lower than they did at first. Id say it took easily 500-1000 miles before they were fully bedded down.

 

[boyracer666]

how much you pay r3obc? i have had quotes of £200

 

[theICEman]

£200! Ouch! Springs are £85ish, fitting shouldnt be more than £50! I had mine done for £100 all in!

 

[Cord-172]

I had APEX springs on my 1.2 16V, I wasnt all that impressed with the handling but the ride was comfortable and it looked great. Mine bedded in after about 2 months which seemed a long time with average driving etc (definately sunk another 4-5mm tho)

Got H&R springs on my 172 now, well expensive but worth the money!!

 

[R3OBC]

i paid £75 for the springs, and £15 for a pair of DRAPER spring compressors. So from what i hear, it still has a little bit of dropping to do! might get my tracking checked out, ill see how it goes!

Sounds and looks good, i think ill go for the Spax VSX kit if i do at all though.
