Clio on coilovers

[172Ben]

coilovers, solid top mounts, lightweight wheels and big brakes. what a combo. lovin this car mate. if only it was RB.

Thanks mate, it certantly makes for a nice combination Late braking and still fills me with confidence

I went from Apex's to these and had my camber and tracking done today!

My camber is at 1 deg negative, whats yours?

ALso have you noticed your sterring is lighter with these on and do you get any knocking turning right and letting off power?

 

[172Ben]

I think its around the same mate. Sounds about right.

Yeh i get a few noises from the springs, no knocking noises though as my solid top mounts are nice and tight now

Managed to get rid of excess plastic under the wheel arch, so no rubbing, also gave the bumper mount a little bashing so its clear by a good few cm's.

So i may lower the front a little more next weekend.

 

[DannyR]

Whered you get the solid top mounts from?

Also, was there any thread coming out the top of the mounts when you had standard ones on?

 

[172Ben]

Bought them from middo. There compbrake ones.

When i was running standard suspension with solid top mounts they was a bit of the strut popping through.

With the FK's there is a few mm

 

[DannyR]

I literally have one turn through, not enough to grab and tighten if you get me.

So the top part is just on until it starts spinning the strut?! Shoudl be ok though as all the weight from the car on it, shoudln't it lol!?

 

[172Ben]

The standard top mounts dont need to stupid tight from what ive read

Sure someone will correct me if im wrong though

 

[172Ben]

Removed the spare wheel yesterday as the tyre needs changing, that and the tool kit weighed 18kg! Left that out! Tyre weld FTW!

Think im gona strip it this weekend, see what happens

 

[GarethM]

[Hutchie]

Yes

Still got them set to Hard all round, love how it skips Will adjust to suit when its dry

do all coilovers skip???

 

[Kam.]

How do you find it noise wise?

Also where on earth can you pick these up from as Kam Racing no longer stocks them

Unfortunately OMP discontinued their whole range of exhausts amongst other things. you may be able to find one on ebay if your lucky.

 

[disco87]

[172Ben]

Car looks sweet mate, not sure about the exhaust in general, but each to their own. What 4 pots your running?

 

[172Ben]

Quite like it abit shorter

HiSpec 300mm

 

[Jonny1*2]

Is that the make? Who supplies them?

 

[172Ben]

sorrenson motorsport, £700 delivered.

Tbh abit of a waste of money, standard brakes, with uprated discs and pads with braided lines are just as good and much cheaper.

thought 4 pots were the daddy?
