So after the recent trackday i thought i had better do a brief write up on the H&R coilovers:
With the front camber set to -2 degrees negative, handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had previously, with an improved ride quality for day to day use. Obviously i have a Whiteline rear ARB that helps stiffen the rear end up a bit - the rear dampers are quite soft when compared to the front (as per the standard kit), but overall it gives nigh on the same handling properties as previously, ie decent front end grip, with a delightful adjustability on the throttle.
Trail brake into corner, turn in, slight lift, rear ends comes into play, lessen steering, accelerate. Wonderful.
So yeah, if your Sachs are knackered, & you want a worthy replacement (albeit for roughly the same money as a front refurb), that drives the same as standard, the choice is most definately H&R.
And onto some pics from Llandow:
Also fitted a few alcantara interior parts over the weekend, hanbrake gaitor, dash strips, a pillar trims & also have a gearstick gator that needs to go on at some point. Nice improvement to the interior i feel, although i do feel that all this tinkering is simply delaying the inevitible, every time i drive it (which isnt very often any more), im thinking of other cars :dapprove:

Although I did see the back of Mikes head during the pit walk on the Friday, which meant I probably saw most of you :rasp:

Dave my little special friend!
Nice touch with alcantara pal! I do have some of it to – From Austin is it?
Perverted question – But what does one look like? I talk to you once every few weeks on here and I have no idea what you look like!
Yes I am a porrrvort!

Thats the thing, its not some cheapo 2 grand shed anymore lol. Its got quite a lot of £££'s tied up in it these days to be honest ...
I only ever fit the best bits to it, & thats kinda mounted up a wee bit :clown:
Just clocked over 185k, plenty of life left in it yet!!
Next to the old shed. Now Cup_Phil's 'understeer' bus.

What are the other cars you think of when you're driving it?
I can't see you ever getting enough money to warrant selling it due to the mileage. I think you should keep it forever

Then stop spending out so much on it
It's pretty up together isn't it? maybe just enjoy it for a bit now? Or does it need somr more work dude?
I know, RS2 it! oh wait....
I cant help it lol, if something breaks, i always replace with the best stuff available!! No point doing things by halves
RS2 Extra is going on Nick & Ollie's racecar now (they collected it last night in fact), i simply couldnt be bothered to fit it. At the end of the day, even with 190 odd bhp it still wouldnt feel particularly fast, or offer any more of a challenge to me from a driving perspective.
A variety of things really, ranging from 'toys' such as an Elise or VX220, to selling both this & the BM and buying an S2000/R32/S3/another M3/Golf Ed30, or perhaps even a Z4M or Boxster-S. Essentially, im using the car less and less these days, so im contemplating either something really impractical to replace just the clio, or something newer/quicker/better built to replace both the cars.
Its more than likely that i'd just keep the clio as a rolling chassis/engine/box though, & stick it in the barn for future use. The money is in the bolt-on bits, not the actual shell & running gear.
Are you on standard top mounts with the H&R's Dave ?

Sounds like an awesome situation to be in mate. Good luck with whichever you choose to do!

Fingers crossed Nick will get bored on it in 6 months and i can have it back, but until then, i'd just like to thank the little shed for being such a big part of my life over the past 2 years. As such, some of my favourite pictures are below
