Bilstein B16 PSS-10 coilover kit or SACHS remote-reservoir dampers

[S Marsh]

I already own a Trophy which I'm keeping bog standard (except for a Yozzasport exhaust which I'm saving up for to replace the rusting standard one)

I was thinking about building a Road/Rally car that will handle the bollox and was wondering which set up would be best. I would keep the engine as standard as the 182.

Either the SACHS remote-reservoir dampers as seen on the Trophy or the Bilstein B16 PSS-10 (might be PSS-11 now) coil overs

I was thinking of fitting the below kits from Pure Motorsport to go with the above Dampers

Clio 172/182 Bump Steer Adjustment kit
Clio 2 Adjustable Wishbone Package
Top Mount and Strut Brace Package PH2

If your going to run it low you'll need to overcome the roll centre issue as well

How can you over come roll centre? I have seen the kit you provide which looks good but for people that can't afford for the whole kit

To put it simply mate, there isn't a way. I did a lot of research into all sorts of ways, but to get the strength and reliability was the major stalling point unfortunately.

I got a 182 that I have just put on b14s and sits perfect and does handle well but sharp turns I getting all sort of problems my arch lining is rubbing when I'm turning right (mainly on roundabout) and it rubbs and knocks of full lock need to get that sorted

I didn't think you could get the B16 only the B14?

You'll have to get in touch with Fred@btm mate to buy them I imagine.

So which dampers the Bilsteins or SACHs? I wouldn't run it low due to the UK's roads being rubbish and full of potholes/

 

[S Marsh]

Anybody?

Billies from me mate had them on my evo and were just superb!!

Cheers Pat

For no scientific reason what so ever I'd be tempted to get the Sachs revalved/shimmed for track use and give them a whirl.

I guess the no scientific reason bit makes me a hypocrite

The coilovers your looking for used to be produced in collaboration with yozza sport who have since ceased but Fred @BTM could procure you a set from Bilstein. Your looking at circa 3k for them though.

Maybe your meaning different coilovers and I wouldn't personally use trophy Sachs on a competition car mate, they're pretty poor for anything competition.

I never mentioned your evo.

But your comparing your coilovers on your evo to suspension on a clio. Fair enough if you had billies on a clio and had driven a clio with sachs but imo your opinion is void.

Is there a b16 version available for the clio? didn't knew that! it doesn't appear on the bilstein site or anywhere else
