Clio 172 ph1 Project opinions-suggestions-warnings pls help

[Tsiaklis172]

Im driving a clio sport 172 ph1 for 6 years now with no upgrades..as it is from the factory its a speed little b*****d worth of respect..

I made a list and i want your opinion or advice for the best if possible choise of:
1. Suspension (lowering)---Bilstein B14 coilover setup/top mounts/ball joints
2. Exhaust system---------Yozzasport system with decap (still not sure)
3. Airfilter-----------------K&S 57i Gen2 induction Kit
5. Wheels-----------------Speedline corse Type 2118 silver
6. ...

(i have made my research and i want to compare..)
*No engine upgrades coz it works great and i don't want to disturb
Thanks in advance

ur choices are spot on, apart from the K&n. would stick with the standard airbox with a k&n element in it or itg maxogen if your feeling rich.

Haha "feeliing rich".. im running with the same standard airbox 6 years now...ill try find a price for new one full Kit,
as for the itg maxogen ill see specs&comments and the price...and ill come with an opinion....thanks yeecup for the tip

itg Maxogen its expencive..but with a great noise!..The engine is to tied..everything is to close..and the induction kit is very close to the hot spots of the engine..so it probably sack in hot air(sometimes) and lose power..(we dont want that)..so ill "stick with a K&R element in it" sacking cold air under the left front light as the factory goes. Manufactures did a great job with the induction kit..
cheers yeecup.

no problem mate. iv got a ph1 as well, i put a k&n in my airbox, but im tempted with a second hand maxogen for the noise. hopefully soon. i have ktec supersport stealth exhaust, new cup shocks and eibach sportlines, matched inlets. would like to get a rs tuner or take a trip to leeds to get it mapped at rs tuning after i get the maxogen, then ill be happy. would like to get a rs2 inlet eventually though.
