Thanks chap - interesting thread. Had PSS9s on my Leon Cupra R - they were the biz! That was before I had kids... In two minds if I want to go down the aftermarket route now - rather hardcore for my weekly trip to Waitrose:thumb:

Could you tag me in it too pls - my 197 cup just failed its MOT due to a broken spring

LOL saw a BMW sliding its tail around all over the place this morning reversing out of a parking space on wet leaves... Sold my Disco so definately no interest in snow - brings this country to its knees.

Absolute bitch of a job... Had to do it on my Mrs GTI years ago when she wrote it off. Need to heat it up gently with a hair dryer, and gently pull the tint off and then clean the window with white spirit to get the sticky residue off. No idea whether the heater elemnent will survive. Either...

Havent slipped of any of the pedals but have accidentially caught the accelerator pedal under some aftermarket bad fitting matts. LOL - got some stares bouning off the rev limiter.. Havent polished your pedals have you with cockpit shine?

Got the same - turns out its the top mount and a broken coil of a front spring. Car still drives well tho.

Cheers - looks good. Thing is, can def tell by the rear its been dropped - boring I know but I just want mine to look standard - especially with the 1.2 Grande badge on the back :)

Yeah thats what I thought... Gonna try sourcing a pair here first then might just have to be the Eiback Pro springs all round seeing as they are black and only give a 20mm drop

Cheers guys Lol must admit ive read that thread from start to finish and really still cant decide. AST set up looks good but the car only gets used once a week if that. Im not looking for a drop in ride height, and dont want to make her twitchy - so I suppose I will just have to go with a...

Clio went into Two Techs friday for some brakes and other bits and they found that my drivers side front spring has broken 2/3 of the top coil. Currently the car seems to be unaffected and still drives great but has got me thinking. Im in two minds... Having owned numerous modified cars I...

Apol - looking into it I paid £120 for the brembo discs and pads and a further £15 for the mintex pin kit. Looks like I bought one of the last sets as they are no longer listed on ebay by seller fos1133 (FoS Autoparts)

I just paid £120 for Brembo discs and pads and the fitting kit... Labour therefore seems quite toppy

Mine did exactly the same thing in heavy rain the day I bought her. Lol read my first post... Never happened again since. Put it down to being French :p

Interested in one of these but with the Akra system I take it that it is still MOT friendly? Does it exaggerate any flat spots and so require a remap?

Sorry if this has been done to death but on a 2008 197 cup I take it I need the 20mm ARB? http://www.engine-dynamics.com/Products/Product.asp?departmentid=116&id=105503 Anything else worth considering from the list while the steering arm ball joints, and lower swivel joints are being done...
