sachs

Basically I'm thinking of upgrading my car in the near future to one with a bit more power while maintaing good handling. I've got a few questions I'm hoping you'll answer and I'm sure this forum will be a bit biased but I look forward to your comments. If i do decide to buy it trophy, it will...

Well was down the shed today looking at Clio / Trophy spares i have. What do you have hidden away ? 1, 1 Pair Front Sachs Shocks 2, 1 Pair Dust Covers 3, 1 Pair Front Eibach Springs 4, 1 Pair Rear Springs 5, 1 Pair Trophy Side Skirts 6, 1 Pair Trophy Door Handles 7, 4 x Clio16v/R19 16v Clover...

Looks for a set of both dampers. Refurbished or needing refurbished, I'm not fussy. :-) as I'm not on here a lot please e mail me if you have anything suitable at k4donna@aol.com thanks, Donna

Its my own fault for not doing my homework before i bought my car back in May not knowing about Sachs dampers. I bought the car not knowing mine didnt have any, silly i know. trying to find a set with the gator boot seems even harder. Any where abouts or any coming up for sale would be greatly...

Hi All i have just become a Clio Trophy owner! So far I am delighted with my purchase. Unfortunately she has had a few mods but nothing that I can't put back to original over time. I plan on keeping her as a long term investment/fun little hot hatch. The main thing I will be looking out for is a...

Please can anyone help me, im buying some front Sachs dampers but they dont have the rubber Gators and there hard to find apparantly. Can anyone help with this? Thanks Kris

I will be putting this up for sale soon but have no idea what to ask ? Anyone got a view on this. Car was a CAT D last year for panel damage however it is showing as HPI Clear so can't have been recorded. Currently showing 70k , no history can with the car however these a bit on the owners...

Dear CT, For sale is Clio Trophy #42. I have owned her for 2.5 years and has been a fantastic little car. Mileage: 58,090 MOT: October 2014 Tax: April 2014 Suspension: Replaced with powder coated/refurbed Sachs Dampers at 44,101 miles. All springs replaced with Eibach...

Hello, I have bought sachs shock absorbers for my clio. I shall wish freed the thumb wheels of shock absorbers to be able to act on regulations. But I meet a problem on one of the shock absorbers. The pin of blocking is aligned with the tapping of the screw without head and I do not arrive to...

When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

As above

Just got my Trophy back after a whole heap of maintenance work and I have to say Wow! I can't believe how much the car is transformed! She went in for a service, new discs and pads, refurbed front shocks from Cornering Force, new front springs and new front top mounts. I had the rear shocks...

Moving to coil overs so......... Fronts refurbed and de pinned by cornering force the week before last (receipt to prove), New sachs rear dampers (done less than 500 miles) Yellow original front Eibach springs (or sportlines if you prefer however these have spring rates not suitable for the t)...

Hi, Putting my Clio up for sale on eBay (hopefully today but by this Sunday at the latest) Just thought this would be a good place to start off any (hopeful) interest. I will add the link / item number as and when the ad is up and running. 05 plate with 71,000 miles Tax - 31/12/2013 MOT...

Well first of all my reason for sale is an Integra Type R has come up in Aberdeen well priced and in my favourite colour, i have always wanted one so this is why i'm listing this cracking hot hatch! The car has full service history, including receipts of a timing belt change on 31.8.10...

Hi Everyone, Just joined the forum and finally in a position to buy a 2nd car. Looking for a good condition Trophy (isn’t everyone!) and have a healthy budget to spend on the right car depending on condition, history etc. Ideally less then 60k miles. If anyone can be tempted to part with...

Seen this on ebay, 74,000 miles or so very similar condition and miles to my own, with the amount of ebay watchers is this a realistic price? Estimated value from low-high? £3,000-£6,500? Thanks.

Up for grabs is a spare unit no longer needed,good clean condition no leaks been off for awhile ideal for a service or fit it as is. Open to sensible offers on this one ? Can be posted £25 via courier OR collected in person FOC. Thanks.

I'm thinkng of changing my 16" trophy turinis for road and hopefully future track use, i just wanted to ask is there a noticable difference in handling acceleration etc going to some 15" td pro race 3's? I'm off to collect a set tomorrow!

I've got the front Sachs off the car ready to send for a refurb. One is definitely leaking/leaked and the other isn't looking good but the strange thing is when compressing the obviously leaky one it compresses easily like you would think, but with the other one, it's stiffer but I can push that...

After a pair of front sachs shocks. txt me 07814953892 or pm me.

Has anyone found a way of perhaps trying to prolong the life of the Sachs? We know that they can suffer with road salt/dirt so just wonder if anyone else has come up with a solution to protect them. I'm not sure where the failure occurs, whether it leaks at the top of the body of the main tube...

Hi all, I am looking to lower my T as it sits far to high at the rear and intern the side skirts do not sit level with the floor. I have my car booked into K-tec for three weeks time so will get them to sort it out but I need to know what are the best springs and how low to go. I would like...

I'm selling my Trophy. 23 of 500. 2005 05 reg. 2 owners (including me). 66,000 miles. Sachs dampers serviced at BG Motorsport in February 2012. Polybushes on front wishbones and anti-roll bar, KTec solid top mounts and camber bolts. Stainless steel cat-back exhaust system and K&N air filter...

Gauging interest really, I had my spare pair of Sachs back from Cornering Force today, but have again been thinking of a set of coilovers and keeping the current dampers in the shed if I sell the car. They have been blasted and power coated, matched and unpinned, the total bill was just shy of...

Hi All, Thought it was time to introduced myself...... I registerded in November 2011, after acquiring my first Clio V6 255 (Phase 2), my first Renault, with the intention of buying a 182 Trophy, but the purchase never happened. Now, a couple of other acquisitions later, I believe I have...

My spare Sachs are due back from Cornering Force in the coming week, has anybody renewed the rubber gaitor that goes inside the spring to protect the shaft? I can use the ones already on the car but it would be good to fit new to the refurbished dampers really. Do Renault still supply them? I...

I'm thinking about getting some spacers and was wondering, has anyone else has tried them on a Trophy, and if so, how did you get on? I'm currently running 1.5 degrees of negative camber at the front, standard Sachs (still pinned), Eibach Sportline springs (although I'll hopefully be trying out...
