Bilstein PSS10 Clio Coilovers Launched
YozzaSport Bilstein PSS10 Clio Coilovers Launched
YozzaSport are pleased to announce the release of the new Bilstein B16 PSS-10 coilover kit for the RenaultSport Clio 172 and Clio 182. Intended to offer road and trackday enthusiasts as well as race and rally drivers an unrivalled coilover suspension package. Since 2005, YozzaSport have continued to develop their already acclaimed PSS9 suspension for the Clio RS range. We are now pleased to announce that our new Bilstein PSS10 front and rear coilover kit is now available.
Press Release here: YozzaSport Press Release
Working with Bilstein to develop the PSS10 kit, YozzaSport have opted for a front and rear coilover design more in line with race solutions used on Clio Cup race cars and VLN cars rather than use a separate spring and damper assembly as with previous designs. With a fully adjustable front and rear coilover suspension set-up the kit is versatile and it is possible to quickly adjust the damping rates with the suspension in-situ, making adjustments simple and highly effective. Andrew Hughes, owner of YozzaSport comments; “With many Clio 182 owners using their cars so aggressively on track, we had to develop a product that would cope with the demands, but needed it to still be lightweight, and simple to adjust. With the PSS10 you have everything in one suspension package”.
YozzaSport understand that a major requirement for motorsport users is to have the highest quality products, yet still enable them to be able to specify options such as spring rates. With a wide range of springs suitable for many different applications, as well as being able to offer shorter dampers for racing applications, we can offer a bespoke solution when necessary, at minimal extra cost. Hughes went on to say; “Until now, Clio 182 owners had to be satisfied with adapted road suspension, we can now offer them a full racing suspension solution.”
The use of Bilstein’s MotorSport proven upside down, mono-tube technology in the B16 PSS10 damper means that the Clio benefits from suspension developed and tested in the most demanding of racing environments. With their massive improvements to handling, damping and durability, the YozzaSport B16 are unrivalled in terms of build quality, reliability and versatility.
The manually adjustable damping monotube gas shock absorbers feature 9 or 10-stage precise compression and rebound settings, from comfort to competition. The threaded body allows accurate adjustment of the front and rear progressive rate springs to achieve the vehicle ride height, center of gravity and level of performance handling desired.
The Bilstein B16 system puts the user in complete control of the suspension, providing the precise suspension adjustment formerly available only on race cars. From a weekend of competition to daily driving, this system provides perfect balance and handling performance. The Bilstein B16 system includes 4 mono-tube dampers with coil springs, and features: Monotube-inverted technology; Manual 10-stage compression/rebound damping rate adjustment; Height can be adjusted with system installed; Spherical top and bottom mounts on the rear damper units.
Priced at £2050+VAT the kit is available for: RenaultSport Clio 172 (Inc. Ph1, Ph2, and Cup), 182 (inc. Cup and Trophy) and coming in the New Year a kit for the Clio 197 and Clio 200 Cup.
The two new Bilstein coilover kits are viewable on the pages on the Yozzasport website. The Clio 172 Kit is available on our Clio 172 Coilover pages and the new 182 kit on our Clio 182 Coilover pages.

Following on from my earlier bits for sale thread, I am listing these two pairs of Bilstein Clio Cup Racer Dampers separately.
One set is from the earlier Clio Cup 172′s (Silver) and the second set were used on the later 172 and 182 Cup Racers, however they are identical as far as I am aware apart from the colour. The silver dampers are slightly different lengths due to them being the earlier design – I can’t tell you why this is – but obviously this is not an issue, as the ride height is adjusted using the srping platforms. New the dampers alone are about £170 each, springs £60 each and the ancillarys such as the bearings, and everything else are about £250 per damper – So you are looking at about £1000 for a pair of the dampers new.
They fit the standard car and are fabulous for anything on track orientated – I actually ran them on the road for ages, but I am a little more hardcore than most – they were perfect with the vehicle that I was running, and were well rated and damped.
The Clio Cup Racers run with “Clio Cup” Eibach Springs – but you could quite easily update/uprate these with the Eibach. In this range the Clio Cup C-400 spring is the softest rate that Eibach do, but, this range goes up in increments of 50lbs at about £65 per spring.
I am not really negociable on the price, as everything in terms of parts is brand new. If you would like to pay on Paypal – fine – but you must pay the charges.

Update – More details on the new Clio 182 PSS-10 kit here: Bilstein Clio 182 Coilovers
YozzaSport Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers
YozzaSport are pleased to announce that in the coming weeks we will be introducing the YozzaSport/Bilstein PSS10 Coilover kit to our selection of suspension upgrades for the Clio 172/182 and 172/182 Cup road cars.
The kit is obviously also an upgrade to the Sachs dampers on the Clio 182 Trophy. The kit will consist of fully adjustable front and rear coilover dampers with Eibach springs, and specification of damping will be an optional extra on custom developed kits.
More details will follow with the product launch in Spetember 2009, but we felt that it would be important for some Clio 182 owners now that they are considering the suspension options for the coming season.
The Bilstein PSS10 damper is both a height and damping adjustable coilover kit with sport tuned monotube dampers and matched lowering springs – for this application we are using Eibach springs, as they can provide us with perfectly matched springs to the damping rates that our customers specify.
The Technology that Bilstein have developed here is attributed to their comitement to motorsport and their ongoing development and testing scheme both at the factory and with their ongoing Nurburgring programme. By using this experience, technology and testing this has enabled Bilstein engineers to migrate the motorsport technology to the race, trackday and fast road market with the B16 PSS10 damper
The major advantages over other Coilovers that are on the market for the Clio 172 and 182:
- Mono-tube/inverted technology with 10 stage adjustment
- Bilstein road tested and tuned
- Bilstein PSS10 Damping adjustment system allows for both comfort or firmness – on our race applications, this obviously means that you can have a selection of springs to match the damping rates that you require.
- Fully adjustable ride height
- Height can be adjusted with system installed on the car, however it is recommended that you exercise cation when attempting this.
- Largest available piston diameter for greater sensitivity and precise control
- Patented digressive piston head design and deflective valving instantly reacts to changing road conditions.
YozzaSport have developed coilovers before with Bilstein on the very successful PSS9 Kit pictured below.

Suspension and brakes are the two biggest improvements to a cars performance and in this article I hope to give you a bit more information about the various options available to owners of RenaultSport Clio’s and Meganes.
I will break this all down into model by model guides, mainly because there are so many variations on the standard equipment.
In a nutshell the more money you spend – the better quality components you will purchase and on the whole – the longer life you will achieve from these components. For a few hundred pounds you will be able to buy good quality springs and dampers that will change the characteristics of your cars handling however, for a few thousand pounds you can set up your car with fully adjustable coilover dampers that will transform your vehicle to another level.
I will break this down into individual posts for each individual car:
