Be carful dropping on the standard shocks,the drivers arch damage was caused by a 55mm drop ans stiffened shocks.And thats was driving carful.
Also the rear was dropped to match and with the valver wheels on it rubbed like f**k with anyone in the back.

I brought my kit from PMC and there very good on price and just as good as G-MAX,APEX etc.

P.S - the belt thing is it at night time with the lights/cd/fan on and the car is hot? A few times it done it to me and i just turned the stereo off and bobs ya uncle no more squeeky belt.

cheers for that info pal, i want to ket the apex -60mm kit, you think that should be ok with turbines, a lad on here said the shocks on the apex kit are very stiff... so im hopin! :D

oh and about the squeaky belt, it does it after a good thrashing when it is hot, squeaks in every gear change if i have been driving hard most of the night...

will just get a new belt fitted, only the auxy belt :cool:

They were 15s off a 19valver.Im not sure if the clio and 19 valver alloys are the same offset.
If they are different that might explain the rubbing i was getting.
