Coilovers for my 182

- Start date
Yeah can do! I'm not mate no, did consider it but I want to do Oulton in August you see.
Me to, but a couple of days away is to good to pass up, lol.
Haha! Fair enough. Think @JamesBryan is still booked on? Was half considering heading down with him in his.
Yeah James is going down on the Friday, we're gonna convoy up with a few other I think.

Yep, they looked like they do...
"...Like the AST suspension and KAM Racing adjustable top mounts, these Renault Clio solid top mounts have an offset pillow ball mount which can be rotated to adjust camber and caster angle..."
...though doubt it works with PMS front brace without some modification >>>

easy, when adjusted fully rearward, that is max caster, when adjusted fully inward, that is max camber.
I'd go for max caster, and adjust camber with bolts.

In case anyone else is interested in the BC coilovers + PMS strut brace and solid mounts, found this...

That's BC's but with the PMS mounts and brace.

Yep, that's what I said [emoji6]
Looks good, does a strut brace do much?

I know but some are on about the BC solid mounts which wouldn't work with the brace because of their adjustability.

It's one of the common upgrades on the Clio, couldn't say what the difference is like on its own, but along with a suspension refresh, cooksport springs and fully polybushed (black series) car when I rebuilt it, it totally tightens up the front end.

BC Coilovers look great build quality, but really baffled by their standard spring rate choices though, 8kg rear and 4kg front is ridiculous, if anything you want a stronger spring rate front and a lesser spring rate rear for handling on clios and the 50% variance is not great, 4kg front is way too soft imo, 8kg front 6kg rear is where the sweet spot is imo, with it still being bareable for road driving.

So what happened to the 200 idea?

Pure now do a modded b14 setup with coilover rears.....very tasty....
That would be to soft at the rear for track, @Niall has just got a set with 8/8 and he says they're perfect for road and very good on track, i'll be going 10/8 for mine which is only used on road to bed in parts and drive to and from the track. Clio racers use harder springs on the rear something crazy like 12/14 if I remember correctly.
Want to finish this and also get some more use out of it only done theone track day with the new bits on. May low boost or throttle boddie to

Yup! 8/8 is great, soft enough for road on soft, then hard is great on track. I'd say it's the sweet spot for a compromise between the two.

Whichever has fuel
It's AST money. There is no comparison imo.

Yeah that's big dough.
£900 would be more like it.

I asked in the Pure thread, the rears are built for them by Bilstein, so will be quality items.
Re the fixed rate, I agree, but most of us won't be using a trackday as a testday anyway. (Fred (BTM) had some adjustable sets made up years ago....think they were 2500 or something)
