Which strut brace?

[Dan@Greenlight]

Firstly sorry if this is in the wrong section, was unsure whether to put it in here or in the suspension area,

After a little help on which front strut brace to go for?

Seen one at Demon Tweeks but wondered if there is a particular one that is recommended?

Thanks,

None, not needed on the clio! Just add weight!

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

hmm ok, didn't know that.

Thanks.

Not sure what spec your running the now but your money would be better spent on cup dampers or/and eibach springs

 

[DaveDreads]

This is the only strut brace that actually does anything on the 1*2's,
but only because it works in conjunction with the top mounts.

Not cheap though, this little lot will set you back £245 quid.

I was planning on that one originally but they are out of stock

Basically, I have ordered cooksport springs, getting some cup shocks ordered up tomorrow, then all the bushes ordered tomorrow as well.

Standard wishbones done along with standard trackrods.

Then putting it all on next week.

I am on the B roads mainly so not running any major spec at the moment but it is a little project I am starting and thought I would start with wheels, brakes and suspension. (not I know I am in the wrong area)

 

[DaveDreads]

A front end refresh is the best thing you can do to these, sorts out any handling issues you might have,
have you ploy bushed the dogbone and got/considered uprated engine mounts?

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

If you got the time, this is what I am ordering and have ordered. Completing the full list of ordering tomorrow.
Bushes and Replacment parts

[Dan@Greenlight]

DaveDreads - you still awake after going through that

 

[DaveDreads]

Sorry I was eating dinner.

Yeah that little lot will certainly do the job. lol

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

I am gonna get a thread up at some point.

Don't wanna start it and let it die out.

 

[DaveDreads]

Well all those are CS approved mods, so we shouldn't bully you until you cry,
unless you do something we don't approve of, then God help you my friend, GOD.....HELP.....YOU!!!!!!

 

[Martin_172]

They ebay outer arb joints are the wrong ones they are non rs. Id stick to standard bushes for b roads, order a set of extra caster lower arms and they will come with new inner bushes and outer ball joints

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

Well, I have felt the wrath of CS already.

Hope you are sitting down if you don't know by now,

I put my cliosport sticker in my side window instead of the back window

There was hell to pay

 

[Wrighty.]

I put my cliosport sticker in my side window instead of the back window

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

haha there were threats of bans, being muted...

its a fair reaction looking back.

Although I have put one in my boot window, I kept the side one in there for character.
