...as long as they fit, and are worth the money eBay.co.uk: Koni adjustable rear shock absorbers, Clio 16v mk1 (item 140095797587 end time 22-Mar-07 11:00:00 GMT)

better off with standard tbh.

**Chris H** · 19th March 2007, 07:52 PM

yep much better.

it'll just make the bad coupe worse.

sparky33 · 19th March 2007, 08:59 PM

OI, what you mean bad? Mine handles great.

**Chris H** · 19th March 2007, 09:38 PM

lol no it doesn't.

drive a decent car and you'll see the meganes many, many downfalls in the handling department.

sparky33 · 19th March 2007, 10:42 PM

I used to drive Mk2 Golf GTi's so I'm used to good handling. To be honest, I tend not to push cars that hard anymore anyway (did have it at 130 mph today though, and it was only at about 5000 rpm).

**Chris H** · 19th March 2007, 10:49 PM

omg a mk2 golf good?

lol heard it all now.

sparky33 · 19th March 2007, 11:03 PM

It was with jamex springs and spax dampers

You wont like the ride with uprated shocks. It's shocking.

**Chris H** · 19th March 2007, 11:57 PM

pardon the pun eh!

It's lowered, so the ride is hard anyway.

That doesn't necessarily follow, especially for the rear.

sparky33 · 20th March 2007, 01:44 PM

a think a lot of the hardness at the rear is the fact it needs new dampers, still got Renault ones on it so I doubt they have ever been changed, and it's also running 205/40/17's.

The handling on the coupe isn't as good as the 19's, but tbh it wasn't that bad either Chris.

I was half expecting to die once i picked it up after listening to your remarks about how bad it was; however, I was pleasently supprised with how good the car really was.

**mals** · 22nd March 2007, 08:42 AM

Did you get you're hair and make-up done before you picked it up?

**Doc** · 22nd March 2007, 09:03 AM

no, I used the Mirror on the driver's sun visor whilst driving home at 20 MPH. PMSL!
