Filby ive told you

buy the dman car first and see how it drives

I wanr you with coilovers it will be horrendously bumpy, rough and will rattle like mad

I went in a friends car with fks and it was awful, defeats the whole point of the car

Renault will have spent millions developing that car to handle as well as it does, no matter how expensive the coilovers are it wont be any better, i'd save your money. IMO of course

Exactly.

Those 172/182's are some of the best handling hatchbacks on the market. Why try and improve on them?!
