I use my car for the track and have and FK Konigsports [Adj Koni dampers] and I love the setup - nice and firm, with responsive damping.
I had upgraded Exige LSS Bilstien suspension on my VX and IMO the clio is on par or even exceeds that setup.
IMO of course. HRs are not the only way.

so have you got the FK's on your clio. how do you find the overall ride, and does it lower the car much??

My car is for the track - but I do go out for blats. I set it to about level 2/3 damping out of 4 on the road... and 4 on track if dry.... 3 if wet.
It is firm... but I have all my cars setup like that [apart from my CTR which i use day to day].
Here it is std at rear and coilovered at the front [the front can go so low you can touch the sump on the floor!] BTW this is when I forst got the 172.

ha ha thats a serious drop!! can't really go too low cos around where i live there are bumpy roads, speed humps, mates who live on farms and i have to drive down there lane!

You can set them up as high or low as you like.
Yup ride height can be set to suit where you have to drive the car, just because you have coilovers doesnt mean you have to have them all the way down.
I've not driven a car with FK's on but when I went out as a passenger in Fred's it definately felt alot firmer. I guess it's all down to personal taste/the use the car gets and also what the state of the roads near you are as to which will be the best move.

There expensive because they're good.
Forget Spax and Koni KW are similar to H and R a bit stiffer I think.
Tein are Jap stuff so I don't think they do any CLio stuff plus its going to be a bit stiff for the UK roads.

Yep my understanding is that H&R's are softer than FK Koni's so are a great choice for an everyday car.
My car is not an everyday car [barely gets used!] but when used is done so on track or fast road hence why I want something stiffer than H&R's without paying out for LEDA.

Mine is on FK Konigs:
Back is as low as it goes (although that ics old and they settled lower now), the front will drop until the tyre is resting completely on the liners.
I find the ride is perfect for me, like Chris I prefer a hard precise ride, to some vague bouncy cruiser so I have mine 3/4 wound for everyday, rebound is good, bodyroll is eliminated and the ride isn't 'crashy'. They give you plenty of feel, not really a bad word to say about them tbh.
Only ballache is inevitably having to fiddle with the height because as they settle, they go lower, then you start scrubbing when booting it, and this time of year unless you have some place warm to work-in it can be a barsteward.
I'd go for Konigs over High's everytime btw, if I know im travelling 150 miles on motoroway it's nice to be able to soften them up, then when you hit the B roads, wind them up and you have weapon for the lanes.
Recommended certainly.
You can fit them yourself, 2 man job ideally, and you'll need them laser tracked and camber/aligned afterwards (£80ish) so factor that into your costs.
I got mine from Rimstyle in the groupbuy for £499.
P.S Whatever you buy, make sure you swear the threads with plenty of Copper Grease, they have a tendancy to seize up with all the salt etc.

Adjustable always - Konigs.
£600 is a bargain if paying full price.
I have no scrubbing with it slammed.... although I am running ultra low profile R16/10/195s

ive got fk konigsport on my mk1, had them for 6 months now and im well impressed with them. i got them setup when i first got them fitted and have'nt touched them since as i think the ride is perfect as it is, kept me on track at cadwell at some speed they have'nt been lowered very much tho as the cars running widetrack so gotta be careful about those arch's could go on the floor tho but would'nt be drivable.....

where's the best place to buy some of these FK Konigsports? and how much?
Try john2modified on here he posted in a group buy and agreed to make all sales similar priced. He'll be about the cheapest around.
One has adjustvbale damping personaly I don't see any point in adjustable damping unless your spedning a fortune (£1k+ minimum) and know what your doing as the optimum msetup the one you leave the car on on adjustable stuff is the same as what the fixed stuff is.
Youc an find the adjustable stuff is more dangerous than the fixed stuff if you set it up wrong.

I like to set it softer in the wet than in the dry.
Thats considerable effort chris. And the chassis isn't stiff enough to make a decent effect!
I'm get to try mine on track....So i'll hold my breath and pass judgement.

Maybe not - but I like to fettle
