Clio 1.2 Campus 4 speed!
I arguably have the crappest Clio here (8v, L reg, 1.2 "Campus"), but since Im a poor ass postgrad I cant afford a better one :/ However, I was chatting to a mate who has a Suzuki Cupperchino (or however you spell it) and he just fitted an internal strut brace between the front springs and says it has made a world of difference to the handling, minimising roll.
My tyres are the width of iceskates and the car is no where near as powerful as his coupe, but I love driving country lanes and A roads, throwing it about a bit, but am really gagging for something to stop the excessive roll which I suffer on every damn bend and every round about. I realise a brace will just push the rear out more, but as long as it keeps the front down where the power is I'll be happy.
So, being a complete newbie (and I bet you're fed up with people who start posts like this, but Ive checked the stickies and cant find what Im after), I was wondering if fitting one was possible to an old clio? Would it make a similar difference? and where should I start looking for one?
Thanks all.
