Clio suspension changes help PLS





Ok please help me someone Im completely lost regards suspension changes there to many kits out there with to many different prices to what seem like the same thing.

So my question is this how do I get better handling out of my Clio dynamic?

I dont care to much about lowering the car although it would be nice Im more bothered about the vague stearing I miss the way I could feel what going on in my old escort .

Also what this about bump stops and bushes ktec sells http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1054here

But are they different from these http://www.powerflex.co.uk/products.asp?cat=0026&catalog=0426Powerflex ones

I think there the same but the prices difference makes me think otherwise.

If anyone wants to write what mods they have done to there car suspension wise Ill right up a FAQ at work (not like I work to hard) showing the best thing to do for £

There isnt a budget problem realy the only thing is I want better handling

By dropping the Clio Id want to do more than just -30 or -60 springs Id uprate the dampers as well (I feel the stock ones arnt up for the job although others will disagree)

PS are these much use? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=800Camber correction bolts K-tech

If your fitting shocks and springs theres is no need for camber bolts aka magnacams IMO because most, if not all replacement shocks dont have camber adjustment. Camber bolts are only really needed on coilovers IMO

bushes could be changed, but no need

TBH i reckon the best set up (without going for coilovers like i have) would be Koni adjustables all round with 60mm Pi springs and get the thing set up on lasers!!!!

there are alot better springs out there than Pi springs, so i doubt thats the best setup. If its handling your after, uprating bushes will make a difference. Also fitting uprated anti-roll bars will help a great deal, and although alot of people buy strut braces for looks, my guess is they really would help the clio for handling as non-172/182/v6s tend to flex alot!
