Saw this earlier. Very tempted Paul. Will mull it over.

A 'like' doesn't feel enough. Thanks for your efforts mate, having you on board is a real asset to the forum and all Trophy owners. Any options for a loan car while the dampers are being serviced would go down nicely too. Something from the factory perhaps? ;)

#004 has a great excuse for low mileage given its stablemates ;)

SW Autos is Russ Fitch - big pals with Dan Potter. They own the rights to the RS2 together I believe. Both are heavy users on the CSOC Facebook group - that's where I'd start if you want an update. Sorry again for the delay responding :(

Looks like a fantastic example! I think many alarms were fitted dock-side on arrival in the UK.

Try Renault Parts Direct for the springs, they'll give you a competitive price although that doesn't mean it'll be reasonable ;) It'll help if you can quote part numbers to them. MarcR will be able to assist with that unless someone else can first.

Fifty grand???! I know prices are on the rise but ... Oh, that's the mileage, gotcha ;)

To be fair I think that's well priced considering it's bells & rotors, Pure Motorsport brackets and the DS1.11 pads!

I was going try Pagid RS4-2 (blue) pads after the Ferrodo DS2500s (which were great but when cold they were dire and borderline dangerous) but I never got round to it and bought the Brembo four pots so sold the Pagids to Miller.

Callipers I bought from eBay (ALS) Mounting brackets were Chris Powell ones (280mm) Brakes lines were another eBay purchase Discs were from George Snee (RTR) There's no requirement to mill unless you want them to fit under 15s In hindsight I wouldn't bother, I'd just run proper decent pads...

My Sachs were done by the previous owner at BG Motorsport, Silverstone in April 2011. Since then the car has covered 20,000 miles so I've budgeted for it and am expecting it to happen soon but who know when that will be?! In terms of the Trophy where the Sachs aren't fitted, I'd want to...

He doesn't have a Trophy.

Max is a long-term member and contributor of the forum. Sure, I wouldn't send it to a random punter, but as your VIN is in full view of anyone if you park publicly then I don't see it as a major issue.

Why would you not send your VIN? What can be done if someone has access to it?

I'm not up for any more outlay, I'm just not that way inclined. I've got a set of 2118s and Trophy Turinis too so don't need any more wheels in the shed ;)

Yep, that's with 25mm front and 5mm rear. Sadly one has a small buckle. I knew this when I bought them, they balance up fine but that one goes on the rear. And I kerbed a front one. As a result they're not worth what I want them to be so Ill probably just keep them and maybe run them as...

I've got a lovely set just fresh from the powder coaters...

Lovely stuff, welcome aboard! Fancy joining us on the Welsh Weekender in a couple of weeks?

The Trophy is an outstanding handling car out of the factory. Personally I wouldn't be able to tell the difference of a few millimetres extra track width, for me spacers/different offset was more for filling the arches than anything else.

It will be a wider track by 13mm. Not sure what the impact will be but it certainly won't scrub or anything like that. I've recently been running gold Cup Turinis along with 25mm spacers without any noticeable issues, albeit just for month or two / 500 miles. 2118s should fetch good money -...

Welcome aboard Badger, I can't remember the last time I saw a set of genuine Trophy Turinis for sale but fingers crossed something turns up. I appreciate you probably want OEM but it wouldn't hurt too much to get a tatty set of Cup Turinis and have them refurbished, although colour-match might...

I still run the camber bolts and can remember the transformation and the first roundabout seconds after driving out of the workshop. It's almost snigger-inducing. Spacers I'm not so sure about. I can't remember whether I've got 20mm or 25mm on the fronts, and yes the wheels don't sit as far in...

Cheaper than upgrading everything and adding an amp and sub!

Is it trim rattling or is the sound distorting?

Have you considered track rods, track rod ends, wishbones, lower ball joints and ARB bushes? Also, why de-pin the Sachs? Do you crave adjustability and are you wanting to set the car up and customise the geometry to suit your driving style for track and/or road? If you want OEM then leave them...

Tim Finch breaks 10 1*2s every week, or that's what it feels like. He's a regular contributor/trader/seller on the Clio Sport Owners Club group on Facebook. Best of luck. Time for a diff upgrade? ;)

Great effort Stevie, on all counts! I wonder what vehicle sports T120 PHY?

'Wrong' is a bit OTT for a boot (/bonnet) strut when both items work just as well as each other. It's hardly like comparing Sachs and cup dampers, which will have an impact on the value of the car. To each his own.

Which ones are the wrong ones?
