coilovers. deffinatly mate, best decision i ever made

get some second hand decent ones of ebay, i got mine for £200 and decent springs are like £130 anyway

Contrary to the above.

If your profile summary is correct, you're running a 1.2

Unless you're planning to use the Clio to plough fields, just go with springs. A good sight cheaper and will give you enough lowz to be happy with.... probably.

If you go coilovers spend money on some bilsteins...then have the car corner weighted and put through a full alignment process to have the car PROPERLY set up (this is a costly process but the only way i would ever have coilovers on my car)...dont put cheap sh*t coilovers on unless you want to ruin it. Personally i'd go for a good set of springs and dampers and spend the extra cash on a rear anti roll bar, some decent tyres or brakes
