Thanks Titan. Yes, I love the Clio's and I would love to keep this car after all the work and money I've pumped in, but sometimes you have to let go :(
I lent it to my friend after her Williams and BMW were both off the road and she loved it.

How good are they for the Trophy. I hear they are specially set up for the Sachs dampers. Been quoted £288 inc vat and delivery. It's a lot for springs so I wanted to know how good they are as I do have other things I have to get for 470 as well and the costs are adding up!
