Things to do while changing to coilovers

[MattP]

So after chasing the other clios at Bedford I ‘accidentally’ bought KW V3 which is coming in a few weeks.

I’ve just sold my M5 as well so have some spare car cash hanging around so what else would people advise I have a look at/replace/upgrade whilst I’ve got the car up on ramps to fit the v3?

Axle spacers / camber shims
Adjustable top mounts (if not included)
Brakes
Brake cooling ducts
Battery relocation
V6 airbox
Polybushed mounts
Braided lines
ABS delete

Yes, we’ll obviously.......

Ball joints, wishbone bushes are the top things I'd say.

Top mounts too if not included.

Buy new swivel and ARB links, they're cheap and not worth messing around with.

What to top mounts allow you to do - is it adjusting camber?

Yes. Negative camber is better for trackdays

I’m never going to be chasing tenths here

More thinking what existing bits would/should I check/upgrade considering the cars done 68k

Polybush the suspension and the engine mounts, perhaps also poly bush the rear beam. And as has been said do the drop links etc seeing as the suspension is apart anyway.

I basically did everything as people have stated above

Compbrake top mounts
Polybushed up front
New links(drop and AR)
Tie rods etc

It feels awesome haha

How often do you tweak your top mounts though?
