What 'the best' is depends on what you are looking for.

Is it for road or track use? Are you looking to stick like glue or have some tail-out fun? Are the road/track surfaces near you smooth or full of potholes?

I want something that sticks like glue like you say, more of what already sticks, the car I use both on road and on track

Welcome to the forum!

I always imagine South American countries to only use really old cars, not Clios!

Parts must be difficult to get! lol

 

[bozothenutter]

those are two very different sets of coilovers mate...
the Ktec ones are for a single make cup and supposed to be very very stiff
the other ones are a road biased setup developed on the ring

Very very difficult, I'm lucky that the car shares parts with the base clio and I can get some spare parts

Which I would recommend, because I want the car to have grip but it is not very rigid for daily use

then the Billies are your best bet, as the spax are 130N/mm Front and the Bilstein are 75N/mm Front (from memory)

As per the above, the softer suspension will be better for you and your car during driving on the road!
