    Help needed choosing lowering springs.

    Cheers Ben for that info. It's doing my head in if I'm honest as mentioned before I've owned and modified many cars over my life time but never before had a car that already comes with such a solid suspension ride as standad and I'm worried if I lower it it will be even harder which I'm not sure...

    Help needed choosing lowering springs.

    As above guys I need some help choosing some lowering springs. I want to lower mine but it has the cup chassis option and I don't want a any harder ride than it is now. So am I wasting my time as most lowering springs will make a car ride harder? I've lowered most of my previous cars but This...

    The back end looking weird?

    I wanted an induction kit for mine but read these engines don't like them something to do with heat soak. Hopefully this is not true as I'd love one. Got a link to the ktec kit matey. Paul

    Fitting spacers

    Think I'm going to settle with 15mm all round so it's just subtle and still looks OEM combined with some H&R or eilbach springs. Paul

    The back end looking weird?

    Yep not cheap. Spoiler cost £230 being the genuine item. I sprayed the spoiler myself for now as trying to decide wether to go with blue or to paint it anthracite as mine has the anthracite pack. Think I will go with blue and I've had a quote for £160 to get it professionally sprayed. Expensive...

    The back end looking weird?

    I'm thinking the same lines as you with questions 1 and 2. I've just sorted out number 3 by buying the cup spoiler. I love it transforms the looks of the rear much more aggressive now At the moment I'm considering H&R lowering springs which seem popular and 15mm spacers all round some on here...

    Hello

    Yes I have a mk 1 TT 225 Quattro remapped to 265 bhp. Great solid cars but for a track day car one thing to remember is these cars are very heavy. I know some guys who track there TT's and are always desperate to loose more weight from there cars. Standad brakes are poor along with suspension...

    Verdict after 2 months into ownership

    Great pic! I was always a ford guy in my youth from rs2000 to RS turbo's. I think that's what these clios have is that hint of the old hot hatches with there pretty basic looks but have that upgraded chasssis and engine but with this RS 200 it takes it to the next bloody level and beyond! Paul

    Verdict after 2 months into ownership

Fitted the new RS badge to the front and replaced those rubber strips in the door shuts along the rear side window. Both very easy to do. Exscuse the old reg plates they...
