Little cheeper than the coil over kit, wont be so hard to set up and 20mm would be perfect ride height. Shouldnt compromise the handling, if the spring rate and or rebound damper rate is better then could even improve it?

Any help or pictures appreciated.

I remember when they first advertised this on there website the advert said they was available for all the RS models 172/182/trophy...etc.
Now all it says is clio2 which to me is probably 1.2/1.6 etc... Probably best to see if they actually fit the car mate have you emailed them at all?

No, havnt asked yet but its under the clio 2, like you say and not the 1*2 list so im not expecting it to be made for the sports.

58mm bolt hole spacing it its for the none RS models the 58mm hubs are fitted to 99% of the Mk2 phase 2 none 172/182 cars. 1.2 8V have the 52mm hubs and so do some 1.2 16V's

The phase 1 Mk2 cars rarly come with the 58mm hubs only the bigger engine its more likly.

Then again you can always swop hubs for 58mm ones if you want its not that difficult.
