Springs or coilovers for mk4 Clio

[Womble]

[MENTION=3201]Chris.[/MENTION] Overall the KW package is better than the stock suspension, but it is not as comfortable a ride. I am having to run more damping than I usually do, as I think the spring rates on the front
are a little soft. So the car tends to roll a bit. I am messing with ride heights at present, the car seems to like its bum down, so when you are going into a corner the car has a level stance. I'm getting there slowly. Just wish KW would give us a progressive spring for the front. Definitely need a quicker rack

Cheers for that.

Im not on the market right now for them, but its something I do want to look into. Particuarlly not having the cup suspesnion I can notice the handling is not quite as id like it, not bad my any measure, but think its something I want to improve on.

Well for the crude route I have to say KTec racing & Eibach have done a great job. Had my springs fitted today. Drive home was a revelation, not pushed on to much but so much more sure footed . Turn in is sharper, ride stiffer as you would expect but still compliant enough. For a £300 mod fitted and aligned I can't complain. There's no need to be elitist

I know it's a word we have been told we can't use but feck'm, love the stance now.

Gilmos1 how are working that springs? Any dumpers issues? Thanks

 

[Gilmos1]

No problems so far. Ride height is spot on, no grounding or speed bump issues either.

Fully loaded for a camping trip .....

Love that!! Shame I use mine a lot cos the roads are filthy!

 

[Gilmos1]

I don't do big miles, 9.5k in 17 months. But the rear doesn't get too dirty I find and have used rain x on the glass which I find works well. I agree it's not the most sensible mod!

[MENTION=15504]Gilmos1[/MENTION] where did you get the roof racks from/bars as I'm quite interested getting them for mine also!

 

[Gilmos1]

Had the Thule bars from my wife's previous Audi, just bought the Clio foot pack on eBay for about £35 I think. Works well, big enough for three bikes.

If you could get me a link that would be handy as eBay is a bit confusing on the roof rack side of it!!

Surprised roof bars from the Audi for, thought they were quite length specific items...

 

[Gilmos1]

The aero bars come in two lengths I think, they fitted an A3, so similar width. I'll check the pack number tomorrow for the feet, just search Clio 4.
