ST XA Coilovers - Renault Clio Mk2 - 18290005

ST XA Coilover Suspension – Renault Clio Mk2 – 18290005

Upgrade the Renault Clio Mk2 Renaultsport with the ST XA Coilover Suspension Kit, designed for drivers who want adjustable ride height combined with the ability to fine-tune the damping characteristics of the car.

Developed using KW Automotive suspension technology, the ST XA adds adjustable rebound damping over the fixed-damping ST X, making it better suited to drivers who want greater control over comfort, body movement and chassis response.

Part number: 18290005

Adjustable Rebound Damping

The ST XA allows the rebound damping to be adjusted externally, giving greater control over the way the Clio reacts to steering inputs, weight transfer and changes in road surface.

Increasing rebound damping can provide greater body control and a more responsive chassis feel, while reducing rebound damping can allow the suspension to move more freely and improve comfort over rougher roads.

This makes the ST XA particularly well suited to road and fast-road cars where the driver wants more flexibility than a fixed-damping setup.

Adjustable Ride Height

For this application, ST lists an adjustment range of approximately:

• Front: 25–55mm lowering

• Rear: 5–20mm lowering

Ride height is adjustable through the threaded front struts and height-adjustable rear spring platforms, allowing the stance to be tailored within the tested adjustment range.

Galvanized Steel Construction

ST XA coilovers use galvanized steel strut housings with additional corrosion protection.

The twin-tube damper design, low-friction internal components and multi-sealed construction help provide reliable performance during regular road use while retaining effective damping adjustment.

More Control Than ST X

Where the ST X uses factory-set fixed damping, the ST XA allows the rebound characteristics to be adjusted to suit the driver.

This provides greater flexibility when balancing comfort and chassis response and makes the XA a strong option for enthusiasts who want to fine-tune the way their Clio behaves without moving into a more track-focused suspension system.
