coilovers

I have just taken my Trophy into renault and got told my front shock drivers side has gone, now is it best to get a replacement from them or buy some new shocks? The replacement wil cost just under £1500. :(

Hi, I need new dampers on my trophy and was thinking to replace them with coil overs. I have had a look at k tec and there are a few different ones. Can anyone advise which is best replacement to sachs. I wont the car to feel same or better if possible. Ive been reading about all the problems...

Hi All, Have just registered on the site and thought i'd introduce myself. I don't have a Trophy just yet but I'm looking to get one in the next few months. I'm currently driving a JDM FD2 Honda Civic Type R which I imported approx 18 months ago. The car's an absolute cracker but unfortunately...

I bought these last year from 480bhp but after lots of you can, you cant use them with rule changes for the sprint class I will be in they are up for sale. These are around £360 now and are THE best top mounts. I want £200 for them.

Hi fellas After selling my Trophy I bought a 172 cup to build into a sprint and hillclimb car. I may have posted this elsewhere but cant remember (must be my age!) Heres the link to my blog. Any questions post it here! http://w193tfvhillclimbcar.blogspot.com/ :D

Would it be an idea to flag up any Trophys spotted / for sale without Sachs Dampers? I've heard some cavalier views about the dampers and fitting coilovers instead. Maybe a register of Trophy horrors.

******* I hope this doesn't contravene any CT rules ******* Hi Guys, I'm from ClioSport and we're desperately trying to get 30 people on board to get a cheap Top Mount deal from Kam Racing. The GB spans a few owner's sites: - ClioSport - Williamsclio - Clio16valver These are the items...

Sash front dampers all look ok currently on my T , looking for around 600.00 ono , all look ok no leaks etc any questions please pm me. :)

Hello everyone, Just wondering how the trophy compares to the civy type r ep3. Sat in a ep3 yesterday and I was really impressed. I went on fast laps to compare the two and the pre facelift ep3 was faster than a T round Rockingham by 0.4 seconds. But Iknow that fast laps...

Just a quick query - anyone who's had this done -have you declared it as a mod for insurance/should it be? Thanks!

Hi all, Needin to get ma Sachs re-furbed but need car every day for work so am lookin for replacement suspension for it while i get this done. Cant seem to find Koni's to fit.... Bilstein quoted me £1000 and told me that the trophy had a megane front axle which i've not heard before :? :? ...

Two cracking results for Renault, Trophy came joint 7th with Ferrari F50 and R26.R 4th! One bug-bear i have though is they talk about a 'layer of squidge' in the Trophy's suspension leading to it not feeling very honed and taught, and i quote 'ooldes of pitch and roll'... WTF!! I put it to them...

PLEASE Don't hate me for asking this BUT.........I am wanting to get my dampers serviced as I have gone passed the 36k mark long ago! But also while doing this I would like to get new dampers on the rear (koni) and also get some Mark Fish springs. How much would I be looking at spending to get...

I'm playing with a few ideas for the winter rebuild, and one of which maybe the Sachs dampers making way for some coilovers. What kind of price have used dampers been going for? Also these have been refurb'd 1000 miles ago so please bear this in mind :wink: Any thought welcome. Chris

Please can someone explain to me why the Bilstein B14 Coilovers wont fit the 182 Cup/Trophy. I may be reading this wrong but the site reads: 'Renault Clio 172 (inc. Cup) and 182 (non-Cup/Trophy)' That to me says they will not fit the Trophy, but why ...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

Morning all ! ok so i got my Trophy Pretty much fresh out the box. taken the Acoustic Value off, getting some fat piping today. and i also getting the brakes done (discs lines fluid etc etc.) ok so, i know that when it comes to Mods if you don't have a set plan, and you just fiddle, thats when...

I noticed my top mounts are not sitting right today. They were fine when I removed the Solid Top mounts a while back and since then I have had a camber adjustment, maybe this has caused it ? They are fully tightened ! Note: They do not even touch the Turrent !!! :shock: Any ideas...? ...

Finally got some decent photos of my Swiss Trophy on KW V2 Coilovers...

Hi everyone, I'm a 23yr old Belgian guy, I've always adored the Trophy since I first read about it in Evo. Some things kept me from buying though, as a student my budget is quite limited (low GBP came to the rescue), the fact that it'll be RHD (prepared to live with that) but most of all... I'm...

I bought a used Trophy recently that had been fitted with KW V2 coilovers for track use. I'm thinking of switching back to the OE sachs dampers. The sachs were taken off at around 40k miles - should I get them serviced before I re-fit them? Is there any way to tell if they need doing while...

:oops: Fed up of my broken trophy suspension, i'll need to get some temporary suspension to use while the sachs are up being refurbed at the front, and i'll have to shell out £200-300 for some koni or sachs rear dampers. Then i think, why not just chuck some bilstein or H&R coilovers on...

I'm going to look at an '05 with 22k on the clock in a couple of hours at a local garage, they reckon it's 24/500. I don't see it registered here so maybe not a forum user but just thought it was worth a quick check. Also, being new to this model is there anything I should be looking for? I...

Does anyone know the history of number 40, it's a cat d but some info on the accident condition would be useful Also i've been to view 273 at Keighley today, what a shed :x Every wheel has been curbed, one in my opinion wanted throwing, the owner had replaced the tyres with ditch finders...

hello people, can any one give me some advice on lowering my trophy, i want to take it down to 30mm but the only lowering springs i can buy for it are 20mm, i no i could go for coilovers but then it wouldnt realy be a trophy if you no what i meen [-X the car has already got eibach springs...

Does anyone know whether 182 Cup dampers will fit a Trophy? Reason I ask is that my nearside front damper has a loose remote reservoir and has leaked oil and is therefore shot. My car has done only 31000 miles. I've only a few days left of my warranty (end of Aug, great timing!!) and will try...

:D

I am going to be selling a set of five 18" Buddy Club P1 SF Gunmetal alloys with very good Yokohamas fitted. They are in virtually new condition as I had them repainted as they had transfers laquered on them. Tyres in good shape. Price new is £180 each incl VAT plus about £115+VAT for the...

Hi guys, my best mate is buying a 172 cup and he keeps saying to me (only to annoy me) that it's faster than mine from 0-60. Is this right? As I thought the Trophy is the quickest from 0-60 out of all the Clio sports..... :roll:
