damper

I don't have the number of it yet so it's not easy to search the Register, but does anyone recognise this car and know anything about the history of it?

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...

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...

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...

As above- I know there is a few trophys still kicking about below 30 k- looking for a decent low mile one. There nothing that fits the bill on Pistonheads etc . If you have one please contact Steve_Murr@Hotmail.com

Put the Trophy in for its annual service/MOT and it turns out BOTH front springs are broken and a rear damper is leaking. Car had basically sat for 6 months straight beforehand so I am surprised. Front dampers are fine with no leaks (they were refurbed last August). My questions to you good...

For sale is my 2005 Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy, Number 441/500. After owning numerous RenaultSports in the past, I thought it was time I finally owned a “Trophy”. Due to a change in circumstances and a significant increase in my annual mileage, it is with regret, my Trophy is for sale. The...

I'm looking for a pair of 182 Cup dampers to fit while I have my Sachs refurbed! Does anyone have a pair ? Many thanks Pete

Need some quick expert advice please I have a 182 cup pack. Been offered front trophy suspension with hub only thing is the one damper needs repairing. My question is it worth getting just front and how much to repair generally Cheers

Hi, I've just had my dampers back from Simon at Cornering Force and don't hesitate to fully recommend his service. They are now 'unpinned' and so I want to try and understand what the adjuster actually does and to what degree. Does anyone have a damper curve for the Sachs at different levels...

hi im after a pair of front sachs trophy dampers preferably in working order but i can always get them refurbed thanks matt

My clickers have seen better days and I can't hear or feel the clicks sometimes. I am hoping to return them to the standard 22 clicks but as I say the clicker seems a bit vague. I was wondering how many clicks are in a full turn, if anybody has ever tried/tested this before. Any information...

Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question. Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...

Hi All, I have had a set of front dampers refurbed and im looking to replace the dust guards also to keep the crap out. Renault dont sell them, has anyone found a good alternative ?

Does anyone have a standard cat back exhaust or rear sachs dampers that they are looking to get rid of for a small fee? I've got cup dampers on the back and would like to see if there's much difference and my exhaust is a little loud for my taste.

Eibach front springs off a low mileage trophy - £offers 172 cup rear dampers - £50 posted I can 24hr courier to anywhere in the UK for £10 or I am located in Bristol if you would prefer to collect in person Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions Thanks

Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

Hi guys. my n/s/r shocker has failed and lost all its fluid. would you recommend a refurb or replacement?? i recently called Renault to get one but they don't seem to be able to price me up the correct Sachs damper. the car is really bad to drive at the moment. thanks for looking

Hi guys, Picking up #355 next week and will be my second trophy. It will be a second car for me so not a daily. I want it to be setup the best way possible. Shall I keep it standard in terms of springs etc? I've heard good things in terms of Mark fish, Cooksport, whiteline arb. Are these...

Hi guys. I'm contemplating some decent coilovers for my RS Twingo but have a question or two... The Twingo is based on the Mk2 Clio platform, with the rear beam axle having the usual clio style seperate springs and dampers. Front suspension is set to similar angles as the Trophy and shares...

Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

My T is on Cup dampers and crappy lowering springs and I'm considering what's the best plan. I don't think the price of new Sachs will ever be reflected in the car's value, so what's the general consensus - fit a decent set of coilovers, or leave it on the Cup dampers but swap the crappy...

Does anyone know the best/cheapest place to get replacement rubber bump stops that go over the damper shaft? Renault are quoting £40 each!

Clio Trophy Springs complete set. £80 ono Done less than 10,000 miles in excellent condition. Rear Sachs Dampers good condition done under 30,000 miles £70 ono Collection from Chandler's Ford, Hampshire. Delivery £10-£15

Now then, for the life of me I cannot remember which way I turn the dials to make the dampers harder/softer. Can someone point me in the right direction. Is + softer and - harder?

Hi I have recently received my dampers back from Simon @ Cornering Force in Yorks. I have had several phone conversations with him, mithering him with questions and understanding what happens and what to expect. For background, he is a very knowledgeable chap and is involved in the Amd Golf...

Hi. I have been having a few problems while driving like country type of Roads not been impressed by the handling of my car :-( I began to realise something ain't right coz ma old 182 handled better than this. Which isn't right. Anyway cut a long story short. I pushed down on the front...

Hello Cliotrophy.co.uk :) This is my first post on the forum so ill try keep it relatively short! I'm currently on the hunt for my second trophy. I sold my First Trophy roughly a year ago and miss it like mad! I'm a massive Honda man so have always had those as a rule but the clio just won me...
