Damper Settings - Front vs Rear

[anonymous-user]

Hi All,

I'm after a bit of technical knowledge. I have a Clio 172 (non-cup) and the rear shocks have gone. I'm replacing them today with 172 Cup shocks which I have now been told are slightly stiffer.

Am I likely to notice any difference in the way the car behaves, having a slightly stiffer damper setting at the rear than the front? What would the theoretical difference be?

I was thinking softer front, harder rear, perhaps more likely to oversteer? Or is it the other way around, more likely to understeer?

Yours confusedly....

doubt you'll notice a huge difference tbh
