Which of the three made the biggest difference?
I saw you did the lower torque mount first so I take it that one?

Yep do the torque link, it makes a world of difference.
When you see the oem mount you'll see why.
The only part designed worse are the oem strut tops which are a joke & need regular replacement, no doubt that's why Renault changed the design of the shock towers to the smaller opening on late 200's.

Hey Trent,
1.2 neg camber was max on my 18/225/40 street tyres. I get about 1.4 on my 17/215/45 semi slicks as they are a slightly smaller OD.
Castor is currently set to about 3mm but can get as much as you want (I don't like a lot of toe).
Although my car is on a track about every 2 weeks, I still drive it to & from work most days so have to be realistic.
If I wanted more camber i'd fit adjustable top mounts but I personally don't feel its needed.
I also run a rear sway bar which changes response quite a bit (am able to adjust/tighten my line mid corner).
With the current adjustable Koni/H&R setup on semi's the car turns in incredibly well compared to a standard cup 200 & is still quite stable.:thumbsup:

Nice ride Steve and I like the tail lights. How do you like them? Are they bright enough? Do you have pics with lights on?
Are they same as this one found on German eBay,

Could you support the engine from underneath with a block of wood and a trolley jack while you get the new link in? or is that a No-No?
Fitted the quick-latch bonnet pins today.
Its a nice quality kit, the catches are anodised aluminium with a spring loaded damper & stainless posts.
Im not a fan of bonnet pin kits that protrude above the bonnet plus they're not legal for road use here, whereas these are perfectly legal & much more subtle in appearance.
Secondary bonnet catches are mandatory in most motorsport over here & the Quick-latch kit is a better solution than the home-made snap clip setup I was using.
