Don't Limit Your Renault Clio 3 RS's Potential: The Essential AST Suspension Lowering Spring Kit

Your Renault Clio 3 RS is an icon of compact performance, a vehicle designed for both road and track. But to fully unlock its potential, an optimized chassis is indispensable. The AST Suspension 4-short spring kit, for which Optimiz Access is the exclusive distributor for France, is the perfect solution to transform the dynamic behavior of your Clio 3 RS Phase 1 or Phase 2 (please note, this kit is compatible with models produced before October 2010 and equipped with front suspension top mounts featuring a large hole in the shock absorber tunnel; feel free to contact us if you need confirmation). Not having it means your Renault Sport will underperform, and you'll miss out on a more engaging driving experience.

Without proper lowering, your Clio 3 RS might exhibit excessive body roll in corners, a vague steering feel, and a too-high center of gravity. Instead of benefiting from sharper handling and optimal stability, you risk experiencing a less responsive car, more prone to weight transfer, and with its sporty potential not fully expressed. Furthermore, the original "high-riding" aesthetic can detract from your Clio RS's aggressive stance. Don't let an unoptimized chassis prevent you from fully enjoying the performance of your passion vehicle.

Why Lowering Your Clio 3 RS is Crucial, and How AST Suspension Makes the Difference?

Top Mount Compatibility and Installation: Essential Points to Check

This AST Suspension short spring kit is specifically designed for Renault Clio 3 RS Phase 1 and Phase 2 models produced before October 2010. The key to compatibility lies in the front suspension top mounts: your vehicle must be equipped with those featuring the large hole in the shock absorber tunnel. If in doubt, we strongly encourage you to contact us for confirmation. Installing short springs is a technical operation that requires specific tools (spring compressor) and skills in automotive mechanics. To guarantee optimal installation and the safety of your sports vehicle, we highly recommend entrusting this task to professionals. Our Optimiz Access workshops, located in Hauts-de-France (near Cambrai, Valenciennes, Arras, Seclin, Lille, Douai, and Saint Quentin), are perfectly equipped, and our experts are trained to carry out the installation of your suspension kit with the utmost precision. For our international customers, we ensure fast worldwide delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions by Clio 3 RS Owners:

• "Is this kit compatible with my original shock absorbers?": Yes, if your shock absorbers are in good condition, these springs can be fitted with them. However, for maximum performance and extended lifespan, we recommend pairing them with compatible sport shock absorbers.
• "Will ride comfort be too degraded?": AST springs are designed to offer a balance between sporty firmness and acceptable daily comfort, avoiding a harsh ride.
• "How do I identify the top mount type on my Clio 3 RS?": You need to visually check the top of the shock absorber tunnel under the hood. The version compatible with this kit has a larger diameter hole for access to the upper mounting point. If in doubt, a photo can help us confirm compatibility.
