Well after thinking the Apex Springs were not up for the job on a 290Bhp Car, i decided to go for soem H&R Coil Overs. Got them fitted and the results are amazing, id of liked the rear a little lower but its as low as these will go with out messing with the brackets.
Had the First track day im the car and all i can say is "thank you clio" It only had one small incident when the breaks stuck on due to a wheel beaing replacement the night before and i must have knocked the calliper carrier pushing the caliper over a little, sorted this and off we went!
Ok there were two incodents the starter motor has broke from the pure heat of the downpipe, some thing that we did hve issues with in the other car! never the less, apart from having poor brakes after boiling the fluid and getting wrong for noise poluttion at croft we had to turn the boost down to 0.8 from 1.3 we had a great day at Croft the frst track day
NEXT - Stage 3 RS Tuning Turbo Charger - Est 340Bhp

I think it was mate, I didn't recognise you otherwise i'd have said hello. Was in the black BMW next to you.
We'll have to catch up soon, especially when i've finished building my phase 1 172 and drag it up here!
By the way, the car is bloody lovely. The colour looked stunning.
