Does the clio use torsion bar suspension or does it use conventional coils over shocks ?

clios are torsion bar yes
its the same as springs, if one goes saggy then that side will drop a bit
if its bin lowered then it is possible that they have adjusted one side lower than the other - ive done a reno5 and its a RIGHT baxtered to get them both to same height.

that really is a poor image on you Lou, that you didn't notice the flat tyres!

and what you just said on MSN about the cliosport members not noticing at that meet either just makes it worse :lol: :lol: :lol:
