Like a bag of crap. I just picked this picture, not because it's a Clio but that does help strengthen the statement, because it's something i can lay my mouse on quickly: 
Note the nose is a lot lower than the rear. FWD cars are set up to try and ease the manic understeer. Something that is permanently squatting wouldn't handle well! |

I bet it handled better as standard though. Unless of course he's actually done anything to the rear suspension of the car which i somewhat doubt
