Depends on budget really. How much are you looking to spend?

Talk to Evogone / Cliorod on here as they both rally their Clios - I only do track work :wink: I've heard Proflex are very good from one or both of them in the past I think.

Proflex are good but very expensive and im not convinced they are worth the extra cost

Got a quote from them at £1550 plus vat for a front shock and £850 plus vat for a rear. Remeber thats each :shock:

Think im going to go for Avo 3 way remote resvior dampers on my rally car :D

Although AST suspension said they could machine me some they were more expensive than the Avo's

As said above it depends on your budget

I currently run a very "Hybrid" set up,it comprises of some "special" adjustable ride height tubes with the screw adjusters on them,Bilstein inserts,with PROFLEX springs and top mounts ~~~~ all carefully put together by my mate Mick at "A" Frame engineering :wink: :wink: ,who just happens to do a lot of machining work for Gordon Birthwhistle of PROFLEX :lol: :wink: :lol: .
Rears are rose jointed Gp.A Bilsteins.
I also have a full set fronts & rears of Chassis Dynamics remote reservoir struts and shockers :wink: :wink: :wink: .These are undergoing (slowly) a full and total rebuild.

I used the current set up on the "Tour of Mull" and they worked superb over the brows/crests etc :wink: :wink: .

I believe the remote reservoir AVO suspension are very good,a friend who bought my first Clio has just fitted them,I think there might be a thread on here somewhere showing them :oops: :roll:

my suspension is worth more than my car... PM me if you want some details, but it's shockingly expensive (no pun)

its only a mk1 172 so will be worth about 50p wont it ? :wink:
