Front suspension upgrade

[Cvija]

Hi,
I need an advice. I have standard Clio 172 phase 2. Is it better to go for 172 cup front shocks and standard springs or ktr coilovers? Those coilovers are my max budget for upgrade right now. Just share your thoughts. Car is driven daily and doesn't go on tracks.

Cheers

Standard.

Standard.

Thanks for reply.
Just one more question, I can put cup shocks without any problems instead of original non cup ones? Both are 54 mm bolt distance.

They’re a straight swap.

As above. Front CUP dampers are 20% stiffer from memory. 10% rear.

Thanks you both.
Much appreciated for quick responses.
