MY Black Gold 182 on Spax Track Coilovers

[Chris205]

I've been waiting 3 weeks for the spax track coilovers (full rear coilover set up) to arrive, so obviously had them fitted 3 hours after taking delivery of them.

First impressions of the kit are: well put together, clear instructions and easy to install. I'll report back on the handling in the next few weeks but in the mean time I'll say so far so good.

So a few pics of the car, I've got more pics of the kit to assemble etc that I'll post in my project log.

Rear Coilover (wheel refurb next btw)

Sorry for all of the pics, got a new camera and got carried away. Thanks for looking....

I like the look of the new rs badge on the back. Toying between that and a black clio badge on mine.

 

[The Russian.]

Love this car.

You really don't need to do a lot of modifications to the bg 182's at all, this car is stunning, amazing how a set of coilovers can transform a car.

Really want to bin my arctic and buy a bg

 

[H.Maxim]

Looks really nice.

Is that an LED rear number plate light?

 

[Stefan.]

better plates to freshen it up is all it needs cosmetically imo

 

[Jekyll]

Looks good Chris.

Im awaiting your reviews on the spax.....

 

[biojo]

Looks well, have you a rear uprated lower arm?

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks a bit too low for me, but still looks good.

I have the Spax 28 point adjustable spring and damper set up and its awesome, very good value for money it seems with Spax.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Love it mate! Will be down tomorrow with our kid.

 

[Richyy182]

Awesome motor

Tyre black would finsih it off although all this rain isnt helping...

 

[Chris205]

Thanks for all the positive feedback,

Plates will be changed as soon as I swap the private plate over from the silver cup & car is dirty hence no shiney exhausts or glossed tyres

 

[Ex-User (41173)]

Sits nicely! How does it handle compared to standard?

 

[andywa]

Looks spot on.

 

[GSKingsbury]

Looks really good mate !!

 

[TonkaTruck]

Awesome car.

 

[Gaz_]

Wheel return then done. No more external tinkering needed

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Looks really nice Chris

 

[Chris205]

Looks really nice Chris

Cheers man, how's the cup getting on? Keeping it clean I hope

 

[WILLYx]

Fitted plate for the front, fresh plate for the back, alloy refurb and clean exhausts and thats perfect!!

Excuse me for potentially sounding thick but how is a full rear coilover set up fitted to a Clio, when the rear damper and spring are normally seperate on them?

Excuse me for potentially sounding thick but how is a full rear coilover set up fitted to a Clio, when the rear damper and spring are normally seperate on them?

basically instead of having the 'normal' damper and spring with this it has the damper and spring combo kinda like the front if that makes sence.

 

[alex-avfc]

So are the cups where the rear springs usually are just left empty? How is the ride height set?

 

[LewisTaylor]

Let me know how you get on with Spax, considering these for the 182
