How have you found that mount? Also is your lower dog bone one done too?
You were lucky with that idler!

Yeah i powerflex'd the dogbone last month sometime, just been to leeds and back makes a massive difference to driving it, few more vibrations on idle but nowt to write home about, no more gearstick wobble generally more solid feeling at the front now, highly recommended for the 90quid it costs.

nice i like odyssey! yeah im under 'Deany' on CS.
mine have been coated before but its quite soft, managed to nick a bit off when i was taking them off today and ive got a bit of kerbing on them so they will be redone later this year havent decided on colour yet.
On a side note Eibach Sportlines fitted today! And I had different springs on each front corner for some reason.
Big difference! Cup spring on the right, wrong spring on the left

Sportlines on mine too, much better than the cup springs and not too crashy over bumps. Bet that handled odd with one spring longer than the other!

Theyre awesome, especially for the price and how easy it is to change on clio's! It was strange, right hand turns were great, lefts.... not so much... borderline scary at least i know why now  and the ride height is now fantastiche!
