RSi Suspension

[richy]

virtually every kit u buy u will have to use the old top mount fittings, thats just how they are!

I had the Spax Vsx kit for my 1.2 which also fitted the Rsi's and that was a 55mm drop.
They where allright for the price, made it nice and low, but i dont recon it actually made it handle any better, than in the standard form. For the sort of driving i did, Country roads etc.
As it was too hard, but if your planning on doing track days there allright.
Have you thought of changing to the Valver setup? that would be cheap and easy to do.
And standard i recon they handle very well, or the Williams for abit more.

dont really want to have 16v arches and front bumper. I want to keep it looking pretty standard.



Just want it lowered but would prefer a full kit.

went for the balck ones in the end then eh! looks well smart. slam the beeeiiiiaaatttccchhh!

Got them off ebay for £190

if i get bored ill spray them silver but for now its something different.

all got decent tread and are in good condition plus there metallic so match the paint work perfectly.

Bang some 16v shocks and springs on...cheapest and probably best.

dont you need the wide track for the 16v stuff tho?

[u33db]

No, thats for fitting williams track...16v is nothing special over the lessers clios than the better shocks/springs.

All you need to fit the stuff to your RSI is hub carriers with 54mm spacing and of course the 16vshocks/springs...beyond that, they just bolt on. Done it on my 1.2...miles better....

will it be any better than the bilstein kit tho?

[u33db]

Doubt you'd really notice the difference of having the bilstein kit over a lowered 16v setup TBH...certainly not enough to warrant the extra cost. 16v setup is more than adequate for most anyway...
