Currently looking at some AP Coilovers from Demon Tweeks:-

Anyone running a set of these? at 500 quid a pop surely its worth a go?

I'm running the old top mounts as I'm in a 2009 200 Cup but just want it to sit alot lower, maybe get some 20mm spacers too.

 

[Tree200]

That does seem very good value!

 

[IanRS200]

Does indeed. I don't track the car and I'm used to a harsh ride with the cup suspension, just dont like the way the car is so high, plus a 40-70mm drop I think is great! Just a bit iffy on the quality for that price. If someone can back it up then I'll be ordering.

Hello for anybody. I want to set cup chassis on my clio197. Can anyone help with finding the reference numbers of springs, shock absorbers, stabilizer. I have Dialogys program, but unfortunately I do not have vin number or serial number of the car with the cup chassis.

AP and Weitec are the "budget" line for KW. They're made under licence from KW and have to use the same materials and practices in order to attain the same TUV certification as the KW's are all TUV certified. I wouldn't have a second thought about using them, they carry a warranty etc., so if you can save a few hundred quid then why not!?!

They're the same as Matador and Achillies tyres being made by Continental. They are the exact same pattern and compound as the Conti's but a couple of year old design. So if anybody wants some SC2's you can get that tread pattern with a Matador logo on the sidewall now... My Dad picked up a set of Achillies for the Alfa as he suffered a double puncture and the local garage got them in last minute and cheeeeeap (£70 a pop in 235/35/18) on a Saturday evening. He came home and what do you know, identical to the SC3 I've got in the garden, even has the chequered flag pattern on the sidewall but has Achillies instead of Continental written next to it.

Still advertising the Billies on there as well.

 

[ryan197]

I think billies actually make a set now.

Can a mod please change my vote from cup to H&R 30/40mm

 

[SunnySocks]

Does anybody know if H&R springs with 20mm spacers will scrub on the arches at all? I have a 2009 clio 200 cup. Any help with what top mounts I have would also be very much appreciated!

 

[Tree200]

Should be OK with spacers on them, I have a 59 plate so you will need the older style top mount (cheaper too). Will be getting spacers soon too.

 

[Gez]

Elliott! No spacers! Haha :rofl:

 

[Tree200]

Elliott! No spacers! Haha :rofl:

HAHA will be fine! I will prove you wrong lol

Anyone had fitted KW V1's on his Clio 197? Which lower more, the H&R or the KW V1 coilovers? Any pictures?

The H&R definitely go lower.

 

[gaz]

Yeah they do at the rear especially.

I ran H&R on my old 197, and currently run KW on my cup. Wish the rear of the KW'S would sit the same as the H&Rs

I've toyed with taking the adjusters out, but I'm not 100% sure I like the idea

 

[mmmmit]

Could be tempted by these

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfo...-kit-lowers-front-40-75mm-lowers-rear-40-70mm

70mm lower at the rear!! Surely they will go even lower than the h&r' right?

 

[martll]

The H&R definitely go lower.

I asked K-tec, their respond on the H&R kit: This kit will lower the front of the car upto 50mm and the rear upto 40mm.
