Update!
Went here today..........
Suh Blammm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Without meaning to state the obvious, the contents of that box are now living in the four seperate corners of my R27.
It is a V1 kit supplied, fitted and aligned correctly by Track Club and i have got to say, wow!!! What a properly awesome difference.
Being an R27, it came with the cup pack on it as standard, this i found was by no means a bad setup. Part of me always wanted to go a tad lower though. The total drop (not that i have pictures yet!!!) is 20mm. This came recommended by Track Club (who are part of TDF) and so i stuck with their advice. It seemed about right to me anyway, i didnt buy coilovers to go super low, i want the handling.
And wow what a good feel i am getting now, near instant steering response. Although the weather is not good today, i can already feel the car is more stable having not pushed it yet. I cant wait to get out and have a good drive in the dry weather (whenever that may be)
I certainly find them firm enough, obviously the H&R kit is stiffer and was considered but having drove on KW for the last 40miles, i know that much stiffer would have been a bad idea. These really do seem spot on.
Will get some photos up soon when some better weather arrives. For now though you can look at some of the cars that were there whilst i was and a few of mine getting the coilovers fitted and aligned.
Enjoy!
This Clio is properly sorted out, its worth 150K +
And yes, thats the genuine amount of front and rear camber!
As said, cleaner, more awesome photos of ride height will follow when i get the chance to clean and get some more photos, really am properly happy with this now.
To anybody wondering if this is a worthwhole upgrade over the cup pack suspension i can confirm the answer is yes.

Thanks dude! Hopefully it wont be long until i get the chance for a cleaning session!
Thanks again! Yeh very happy with the service from them. They really do know what they are doing, you only have to look around the workshop to understand that they are **** hot.
I didnt see under the bonnet of the TVR today but i have seen under it before when the Clio went in for mapping. Very nice indeed! He's got it up for sale too!

As a matter of fact.........I am lol, good to see that your on here!
Very jelous
Seeing that 182 makes me wanna get ours back on the road
The 172 they had in black shown in the photos was incredible! The blue 182 was also good, a customer picked it up before I left there today!
Haha yes mate, No problem!
Thanks dude! Was a good day despite the weather being rubbish!
Will get some photos up soon after I've had time to clean and then will post them up on here!
Hellooooo!
Finally had the chance to give the Clio a clean this morning and get some better photos of it round at my friends house. Ignore the blue saxo its a B1N currently off the road.
All in all im really happy with the way the car is looking and feeling at the moment, its certainly impressing me everyday i drive it. Too bad we havent had the best weather to drive in recently but i guess that will come along in the summer time.
After i get paid again in the coming week i will be planning on purchasing a VIP ticket to perhaps bring it the stand at FCS. Will be happy to meet alot of you guys on here!
Enjoy the photos, although bare in mind these are taken on an iPhone 4 but nether the less......
As you can see the cat, who is actually called Nismo, kept having a look too.
Not sure where i will stop with this car at the moment to be honest, looks nice as it is. Going to purchase some Osram Diadems in the not too distant future, already got a set of 4led 501 type bulbs in for sidelights which work very well next to the xenons and get rid of the yellow glow look that you typically get from them.
I was thinking about getting some brighter powered H7 bulbs to replace the yellow coloured ones i currently have for cornering lights. Would finish the headlights off nicely.
Does anyone know if its been done or where to get some good ones from?
Open to ideas for the car, havent really thought too hard about getting an exhaust, i quite like the sound of them as it is.
Catch ya soooooooooooooon!

looks brilliant mate, same colour i am getting my 200 cup in march
Thanks! I love the colour too, dont think there is any other colour to really have
Thanks very much, think there is another meet in March for us lot, spoke to Beij the other day. Will let you know!!
No i havent sprayed the rear one, i like the rear one silver because of the Renault Sport badge thats on the boot. If i was to take the badge off then i would probably spray it yes, i have been thinking about doing this too tbh. Just havent made a decision yet haha!
