Ideally I'd love the AST's - the stiffer springs is just a big advantage over the kw/spax/etc..
If I can buy some hubs for £40, whack them on and pick Lewis's coilovers up i'll be a happy bunny

Hahaha did you guys sell them just because they were the wrong fitment?
Trafic 140dci
Handy to know if Phil doesn't buy them

At least if you do down that route, you wont feel the need to change them in a year, so worth the extra hassle now IMHO
Yeah it's gonna work out at about £120 more than going with KW/Spax - but that's more than worth it just because I won't have to swap again
Can just send them off end of the year for a rebuild

No, we broke Dan Freemans car, these have only done 2 trackdays, Oulton and Bedford. I would change the hubs if I had them.
Ohhhhhh I didn't realise they were off Dan's car
Sweet - deal done as far as I'm concerned then

Yeah by the time I've bought stiffer springs for KWs and had them revalved they work out more than AST's lol
Bit of an update to anyone thats interested
Spent the week watching videos of Clios on KW V2's including a quite impressive 8:38 lap of the ring with a standard engine and interior - I've decided to give the KW's a crack
Unfortunately Lewis had some problems removing the AST's and damaged them a bit - and I don't really want to get into rebuilding them on top of moving to 182 hubs - and it appears to be quite tricky to find 182 hubs and then bearings are expensive.
I'm also worried that a drive to Monaco and back on AST's as well as the weekend thrash around the moors will actually be too stiff.
So ordering KW V2's on Wednesday and gonna see how I get on with them for the year. I very well might swap to AST's next winter when the car will be a sprint/tin top car only and not see any road use
Thanks massively to all the advice everyone threw in, I think this thread has got some really good info in it now for anyone else making the same choices in the future

Ahhh I'm glad it didn't end up costing too much mate - my OCD would have driven me nuts knowing one was freshly rebuilt and the other 3 were old lol
I have issues
