Earmarked £1500 for my 172 Ideas guys?

[cliobritt]

going on a 3 month holiday to Afgan and I want to spend £1500 on the car when I get back, Its totally standard. priority is suspension..:S

???

 

[Adamhodg]

Coilovers

 

[r8byb]

i did the same recently

H&R coilovers, trophy wheels, full exhaust system, and brake setup is what i did.

 

[cliobritt]

H&R's - still have ride quality?

 

[J9HHY]

What you going to do with car? Track? Or Just Road Use?

 

[Sir_Dave]

A good set of matched tyres all round is your first priority.

Why spend £1200 on AST's then drive on Nankangs .....

 

[Daz Clio Cup]

itb's are winners. You can keep your coilovers. a standard setup handles well enough unless your on the track all day

 

[beatjunkie]

Would people just say a decent set of springs and uprated shocks for non track use then if you dont need the massive drop?

 

[Andyman]

I dont think you can go wrong with a set of Eibach springs and Koni shocks if you want to uprate for road use.

If you want it a bit lower and slightly harder , Apex springs and the Koni's.

Coilovers good for track use but overkill for just road use

AKA ditchfinders. Mine had brand new Pirellis on it when i bought it; i literally threw them away as it felt horrible. Have Conti Sports now and its at least 100 x better

Overkill for road use!!!! You lost the fu*kin plot or what. Ever driven a decent road car on decent coilovers??? Apex and koni's= cheap suspension. I wouldnt even bother with it. Id rather keep the standard stuff. Coilovers is the only way suspension should be upgraded. Its called doing it properly!

What pirelli's im thinking of getting some p zero nero's soon , had p6000 on my 306 rallye and they were ditchfinders lol.


Agree with Dan, i had sportlines on before H&R's and its so much better again

 

[cliobritt]

p zero nero, if they are good enough for sports cars they are good enough for a clio!

H&R's - still have ride quality?

Yes mate.

For £1,500 i would buy a set of H&R coilovers [set up properly] and a ITG maxogen.

AST's and forget the pointless ITG thing.

Are ast's availiable? Everytime i enquire i get fobbed off.
You'll get more power per ton if you take the back seats out than an itg. Works out about 1.5 bhp per 10 kg, back seats are 20 kg!

Over-reaction, much?
