Have to do a brief write up when you get a chance. I was tempted by them but didn't bother in the end/

Yeah for sure big guy. Thing is, the Trophy is quite pointy and I thought it may make it a bit too pointy and twitchy tbh. So why I'm keen on hereing Aucky POV.

Haven't had chance to show some corners yet. I'll probably go for a run out tomorrow night

The generic pictures they show have 3 adjustment holes (soft, med, hard). However for the clio there are just 2 holes. I've set it on the softer of the two to begin with, easily changed, but I can feel the difference already.

This is very strange as I was just thinking maybe I will fit a whiteline rear ARB to see if the back end settles down so I dont need to go down the coilover route. I'm extremely interested to see your thoughts on the rear ARB addition to the already good trophy chassis

Great to see another trophy in good condition I'm just about to start a progress thread for mine

I went for a drive yesturday.. so heres my verdict:

Its...AWESOME!
It just so point-and-go!
On the really tight (say, 40-50mph bends) its just hold on and on and on, its like a train on rails.
I can feel there is more lateral sheer force acting on the rear tyres, but not enough for them to let go. On a track situation.. I guess it would be more prone to lift off oversteer, but its nothing scary and its still progressive enough. Its not as progressive as standard (all the weight on the front slowly moving into slight understeer) but I'd say the overall grip and handling has improved.
Would I recommend? Yes.

lovely car with some great mods. Have you ever tried the mark fish suspension setup?
No, I'm on the look out for second hand but I'm in no rush. I don't need it any harder than it already is tbh.



Whats it like with the decat? just bought one for my RS192 system on my trophy :)
Love it tbh. Feels a lot more eager and responsive. The only downside being a sort of boomy bass noise in the cabin on idle.

Still on the shopping / to-do list:


  • Live map at RS Tuning
  • Take delivery of Turinis
  • Refurb front dampers
  • Replace rear dampers with either OEM or Koni adjustables (I can't decide!)
  • New rear discs and pads
  • Coolant flush

Stunning example of a trophy. Looking forward to seeing the results from all the guys on the RS2 Manifold groupbuy.
