Help with Handling!

[samg1988]

My girlfriends clio is a Mk2 Ph2 dynamique.

Last MOT it had a couple of shocks replaced and fitted with apex springs (40mm). It also has 25mm spacers on the front because It has MK3 wheels.
The handling feels awful really crashy and dangerous at times.

It has new toyo proxes and I had an alignment done the other week, but it still feels the same.
One of the things she notices is while going over bumps or round corners, the car feels like the rear end is losing control a little.

Are the springs to blame? Could it be shocks you think?
Any advice is helpful

Apex springs have a poor reputation so could possibly be that.

MK3 non sports not iirc

Might be due to Apex springs and worn shocks. Check the front axles balljoints aswell.

Should just I be looking for excessive play?
I think I'll switch the springs to standard as soon as I get a set sorted. Whats the best way of checking the shocks are in good order?
