Suspension? What to do on a budget? And Where to get it?

[JamieScobie]

Im looking to spend around £500 - £600 on my suspension kit for my clio 182 but dont have a clue where to start. Whats better cheap coilovers or a sports kit. And how low is the best to go? help

coilovers you can customise to your own taste by height and stiffness etc, i.e so if you go on track you can stiffen everything up etc.

With a sports kit, i.e springs and dampers then you can't alter it, it will drop the car a certain height and will be a certain stiffness.

So basically coilovers can be adjusted for your personal preferences.

DONT get cheap coilovers they will ruin the car!!!!! I had my fingers burnt by GAZ units around 3 yrs ago on my 172 cup. Horrid things

Better off with some ebaich sport/pro line springs imo

H&R coilovers or bilstien are very good. The H&R's are what i ended up with on the cup, and now have on the 182

Is it the same fitment for a 172/182? Where can i get these springs???
