Rich Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 So my brother couldn't sell his Renault 21 so swapped it for a Clio!! I had a drive of it on Saturday, it's pretty nippy for a 1.8, has racing cams and decat. You can't drive it under 2k rpm as it's very hesitant. Anyway, he took it to the garage who him and my Dad use down in Essex and had it 'tracked up'...his words! The car still feels nervous at speed and a little bit shakey. Obviously he hasn't listened to anything I've told him about tracking vs geometry and the car is still the same! So he's thinking of bringing it up to WIM. It's been lowered 60mm on springs only and had all new suspension parts fitted recently. What is adjustable as standard though and what can be done for the modified chassis? Here's the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hey ER. My knowledge may be limited on suspension but i do know that if you lower stock suspension by 60mm.... well the shocks wont last long at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Out of the box all they have is front toe. When lowered the rear camber stays around the same but the front will gain camber, this in turn generates oversteer. All we can do is fit EZ cams in the struts to enable adjustment and dial out some camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Cheers Tony will let him know, but he doesn't like the car so he probably won't even keep it long!! Adam, I'm not even sure if it was lowered on the standard shocks but yeah they won't last long with a drop like that. He can only just get it up the drive!!
