floaty ride

[amzss1]

i was just wondering if theres anything i can do to get rid of the floaty ride when doing about 60 - 70. i hate going on the motorway by myself because of this, the car just doesnt feel safe. when i bought it the standard spliiter was hanging of so i took it off, was just wondering if this made a difference at all. its a clio mk2 ph1 1.2 grande

Splitter is there purely for aesthetic reasons. Has the car always felt poor/floaty?

i really dont know because when i had the car first i didnt do anything other than town driving, so have only noticed this when i went on the motorway

It could one of many reasons to be honest. Dampers/suspension, tyre pressures etc. Best get someone to have a look at it or take it to a trustworthy garage.

When i took my alloys and suspension off and went back to standard the motorway wasnt as pleasant...

see i did have alloys but they made the ride worse so i took them off and i still have standard suspension, but i think it may be that because in the engine bay the top of the suspension is actualy lifting of the body, theres bout a cm gap between them
