No problems Nathan, but if you stand me up again it will be you who is getting angel grinded!
Every week I will lower the front until I get rubbing, and if there is rub...by god as my witness I will angel grind the car to bits to stop it if I have to!
Sohrob, I have noticed the back end holds up a lot better; it doesn't tend to stray off when going very quickly round corners.

i agree with the statement but have you ever driven or felt what a race or rally car is lie to drive on british roads? they spend hours and hours developing and setting the suspension and anything associated with it for the particular circuit, a coilovered clio doesnt have these adjustments, plus race or ralyy suspension is so damn hard and stiff you will break something at the slightest pothole,
what camber and toe have you got it set to?
getting the best handling setup does not equal as low as you can get it.
spring rates, ride height, damping, tyre pressures, camber, castor, rake, corner weights etc. etc. all combine to produce a car that handles well.
If you are after looks fair enough it looks like you have a nice car. If you want something that handles as well as it can then you will have to sacrifice the looks. If you go to low with out increasing the spring rates you will risk the suspension bottoming out causing unpredictable handling and rubbing which also upsets the car when cornering.
Take it to a professionel outfit to get it all setup properly and give you some advice. I am sure you are only after the looks really??

Exactly m8^
I have never been too bothered about how the car looks as I'm more in to performance. The cars transformation from standard to coils has been unbelievable so now I'm fine with it but when I get some money together good old yozza hunny will sort out the balancing and the proper set up for it.
Until then I might as well go as loooow as possible!
