How can i improve the handling of my dci clio?

Would new springs do it or would i hav to do dampers as well & how much would it cost to fit cash in hand?

 

[rich19]

join the revolution dci, wud defo improve stock handlin dampers r`nt a need but always better 2 replace wiv upgrade versions as it tightens everyfin up
springs r ok up 2 40mm but ul always get better results from a full set up

To do a proper job an realy get a better setup spend a lod ornot at all Fk's are the bootom of what you should IMo be looking at £420 or so for them as coilovers Next step is H and R's at £750.

Stocks very good though realy.

There no uprated cheap dampers though IMO out there and I've seen a few.

Have a pop at lowering it yourself mate. Really is easy

Great guide here

I'm off work monday and tuesday next week aswell or the weekend?

pm me mate.

 

[rich19]

cheers pepsi but i fink derby is abit far probably near the 2hr mark but i appreciate the offer

 

[TomTom]

Don't let any of these robbing gits on here charge you more than £60

 

[cK]

Rich, i'm only from Bridgnorth. I would do it for you but im going away to las vegas this weekend on holiday. Give Steve Blackham a ring. He's in Bridgnorth by the Severn Park area. I'm sure he'll do it for about £40-50.

[Pep]

i wont charge much mate, to be honest i just want to see a ph1 in the flesh and maybe get taken for a ride....!!!

can't garuntee i'll be the fastest but i'll probably be the cheapest...!

 

[Racingblue182]

You shouldnt be paying any more than £20 a corner in my opinion. Its a 2 hour job.

Yeah agree even £80s a fair price anything a lot lowers mates rates.

 

[huckin18]

give it a go yourself i managed mine on me drive... easy enough follow the guide on here you need only basic tools took me 15 mins to do the rears and about a hour for the fronts (top bolts bit seized didnt soak them overnight in oil....)
if you know what a spanner and socket set look like you will be fine!
spend the £50 on a tool set better investment for when other things come loose on these french beasties... and you get more satisfaction throwing it thorugh corners knowing you worked on it yourself! well i do anyways

 

[rich19]

cheers 4 the heads up guys, just can believe the garage prices round my way

 

[Clio_dci100]

Wanting a decent but low price lowering kit for my car to improve the hnadling plus someone to fit it? how much would that cost on a dci 2004?

 

[ben_p]

im in warrington and would fit for £60

I got 'em done on mine for £122 parts & labour in 2004 @ BB in Essex (40mm Apex, standard shocks)

Bit crashy, but better than standard. Original shocks still fine too @ 58K (48K lowered)

Max. £150/180 now all-in?

 

[Lunner]

If you're in Telford, Yozzasport are prolly your best bet, local too

 

[Clio_dci100]

How low should i go? I'm not lookin to go nuts with it but wont it low like a 172. Its got 16's on there atm

 

[black kro]

a 172/182 is only about 25/30mm lower than an ordinary car (01-05 model anyway)

40mm on a standard motor gives almost spot on for that 'natural' look

silver door badges go long way too (mine are silver dci)

 

[A18XHO]

on the sport you dont even need spring clamps i dont think? i'd do it but i think im too far away

 

[leighk18]

hey mate i will do them for you what are you changing just the springs our dampers as well? ill do it all in for £60 quid it really aint hard but if you aint willing to do it your self then fair play im from stone which is just past stafford

 

[edde]

Bit crashy, but better than standard. Original shocks still fine too @ 58K (48K lowered)

Shock wear though depend how you drive stock shocks for me I chnaged at 50k with standard springs as I wasn't happy with them.

I find the Apex to hard a ride though but each to there own.

You don't but unless you've done them efore or know what your doing use them.

 

[DrR]

I'd do it for £50, it's easy! Only prob i had was snapping allen keys on the top mounts.

 

[Ross M]

do it yourself !! its a piece of pish. i never realised how easy it was till i did it.

 

[robsta172]

I can do it mate.
even wash your car if you want

jus pay the airfare and im there:rasp:

 

[Ollie82.]

I'd do them for you but i think Surrey maybe a bit of a way to come...
