Which coilovers for my ph1 172?

[Wests Renault]

Don't want to spend a fortune but want something half decent. Looking at either the KTEC coilovers or the VMAX ones that JMS are advertising.

Don't wanna spend more than £400 really

What are your suggestions?

Or should I be patient and wait for a set to come up 2nd hand?

id go for the vmaxx ones,i have them on my ph1 and the are awesome for the money..they are no to crashy and the ride is very good

 

[Wests Renault]

cool, is the JMS price (£430 fitted) good?

 

[The Boosh!]

I'd really spend the extra money and get KW v2.

Work harder!

 

[Spongebob 172]

Yep...i believe they have them properly set up and not just fitted,best drop tom or james at jms a pm

How much extra we talking, will I really notice the difference?

This, especially as your car is track focused!

Gray picked some up for £700 however I believe he got them stupid cheap :S

If they were available for the cup packed 182 i'd have sacked off the ktec ones and bought the KW's.

Don't get me wrong the KTEC ones are brilliant, but Grays car is brilliant-er.

 

[Spongebob 172]

i didnt realise you was gonna track it...it that case i would go for the kw's aswell

 

[Wests Renault]

tbh i'll only be doing a few track days a year and cost is a real big player

 

[adam172]

go for the vmaxx jms set up, best value iv seen so far and when iv saved anuff thats were i will be going!

More than worth the difference. I've driven plenty of clio's on different suspension. The V2's are the best I've tried. They are legendary.

 

[Bluebeard]

I've tried FK Silverlines on track and they are very good value for money. (IIRC, they are koni underneath all the stickers). Can get them quite cheap from Venom Motorsport.

(I have also tried KW and they are uber awesome! lol)

You've changed your tune!

You dont need to spend 1000's on the KW stuff. The H&R's or Billsteins are very good. I've had both

 

[ForceIndia]

They are worth the extra over H&R.

If your looking for a cheap set that aren't utter shite I'd say FK Highsport are a good choice, I loved mine when I had them on the 1.2 but havent had them on the 172 (yet) one of the traders on here does them for a good price. It might be Kam Racing

Shut up

H&R and billstein are all over 1k though are they not?

 

[Gray]

I am slightly biased towards KW v2's (but they are DAMN GOOD)...


I was also impressed with the bilsteins

If doing trackdays pay the extra bit of money and get the FK Konigsports, around £600. I swear by them! Best thing I ever bought for my clio. If you want to go out for a ride with these fitted your more than welcome to pop over my way (once car is running )

I'm pretty sure the konigsports are the only ones using koni inserts, at least that used to be the case with their vw stuff.

the Silverline-X kit does too but not the Highsport or Silverline kits
