suspension

Have a 2008 Clio 197 Cup and yesterday failed it's NCT (Irish MOT) on front axle Suspension Imbalance - this is after having two new front shocks fitted about 3 months ago (one had a weep, changed the pair). I'm throwing the results in here too so people can see. Usually in the past this has...

Wondering if anyone can help me out with my Clio I recently purchased. Looking at the ride height I think it has been lowered. I think it is on lowering springs with everything else standard but not 100% sure. It's a Cup which I know sits slightly lower than the non cup but it looks like it has...

Hi all, I am on the fence whether to buy Clio III 197 or 200. Is there any difference in suspension setup between these two? I read the facelifted one should be a bit softer. Is it true? Is it a noticeable difference? Is there anyone, who has driven both, and could compare them? Thank you!

Hey all Recently took my 2009 197 out of storage after 3 years and am doing a bit of a fix-up project (120,000km's)! I've noticed the following issues so far and haven't been able to confirm the causes yet (although I have yet to pull everything apart, which I'll do over the Xmas break). 1/...

Might sound like a noob, but need advice on removing the rear dampers.. So my rear dampers are on the way out and have some CUP replacements. I gave it a go at the weekend but the 16mm nuts wont budge off the top mounts. I am aware you need to keep the damper still, any ideas? I will give it...

I bought a non cup 197 clio that i want to use for sprints, hillclimbs and trackdays. What is the best thing to do with the suspension on a budget? I don't think I can stretch to coilovers atm. Am I better getting springs / cup springs / just leaving it for best handling? Thanks in advance!

I'm sure this has been asked a load of times... I know my os swivel joint has got quite a bit of movement in it (wheel moves side to side when in the air) i did think it was ball joint but been told it's swivel. The car seems to torque steer ALOT & dives left under hard braking... Will a new...

Hello, I'm looking to change my shocks/springs to non-cup and need some information on the colour markings. The 197 buyer's guide has great info on 197s but I can't seem to find info on 200s. As far as I can gather the spring markings are: 197 non-cup front: blue/green 197 non-cup rear...

Hi All, as per the post title. Has anyone come up with a solution to tame the awful damping of the Cup set up, on a 200? I'm now 1500 miles into my ownership, the last 300 miles being on the usual poor quality tarmac and undulating roller coaster of British B roads. I cannot fault the 200 in...

Hi, I want to change the suspension but I don´t know which one will be the best. I´ve got H&R 29103 Springs (40mm) thanks in advance
