Hi guys,
I was wondering how many of you would recommend Sportlines over the stock trophy Eibach springs.
I' d love to get some low but I'd never compromise handling for look.
cheers

i think i will be in need of some rear shocks soon.
what's your thoughts on replacements?
i was going to go for koni or original trophy sachs.
i've been quoted £113 inc vat + postage for the trophy sachs
and £93 inc vat + postage for Koni's.
i am tempted by the £40 saving from the trophy...

Just given 038 a polish and some new pics. Would come with a new MOT.
If you know about these, and most here do, all the maintenance and new parts on this add up to a fortune. I'm on the fence about selling it as it owes me more, but it is a stock car, I have an R26.R I'd like to keep and how...
Guys,
I need your help on where to get a new coil spring for my Trophy as it has collapsed.
The MOT was last week and it failed and trying to find a coil spring is like trying to find a DoDo!!
Where can I get one? A standard one will be fine just now until I look for coilovers.
Any help...

Hi :D
Im new to the forum and have joined to gain a little knowledge from trophy owners about the car. Hope to be purchasing a Trophy at the weekend which seems like a good one but I have a few questions. How often should the dampers be refurbed? I hear £400 is the going rate? The ones done...
I've two front springs 'gathering dust'. Done around 5k, been sitting in the garage for 18 months and I need to clear some space. Open to decent offers above the £100 mark, will be going on ebay in the next day or two so you've got a heads up.
Brand new, each one will set you back over £100...
Bored today and even although they seemed fine decided to take off the sach dampers to get them refurbed.
Going to drop them off to get shot blasted this week then get them painted etc then get them sent to BG motorsport.
Will put up more pics as they progress.
Hi everyone,
I've just bought a Trophy with what I think are eibach proline springs fitted. Had a bit of a search but can't find a definitive answer to how these differ from the standard springs. I am tempted to revert back to the original spec.
Does anyone know the difference in specs...
Hi All
I'm viewing a Trophy in the morning! is there anything I should be looking out for apart from the obvious things that are discussed on here! any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Here is my 2003 Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup for sale, its adverstised over on CS.net but i thought it would be useful to advertise it here too.
I have owned the vehicle since August 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it, unfortunately the time to sell has come. I am the third owner and the Clio...
I am selling a full Trophy suspension set up, with recently refurbished front dampers.
This set up will fit a 182 Cup, a 182 with Cup Packs and the Trophy.
I bought the dampers off a guy on Cliosport last July. I have not even fitted these to my car as I have been preoccupied with another...

Don't if it has been mentioned but today I noticed while looking up a few things for my 'T' ( yes I work in Renault parts ) that I have noticed a massive price drop in Sachs prices about bloody time as well.
New prices are as follows though available through France which I have checked.

Not only have I snapped a precious Eiback front, I've also snapped a rear spring.
I know the Trophy front spring is different from the 182, but what about the rear... is it the same?
Apologies for bringing this up again but the recent spate of comments on suspension has prompted me to post.
As I see it there are three options for replacing Trophy rear dampers:
a) 182 Cup dampers (£65ish)
b) Renault/Sachs Trophy-specific dampers (£115ish)
c) Koni adjustable dampers...
Hi Guys,
My front right shock is abit bouncy so think I might need a refurb soon, so planning on taking both the front sachs off and selling them. The other two are amazing, however my brother got the back left SACHs replaced with a standard shock. So I have 3 of the sachs left. Was planning on...

Hi, I have owned a Cup packed 182 for over 4 years now, determined to keep it as long as possible.
Always kind of wished for the Trophy set up so I have just invested in a full set of Trophy dampers.
I was wondering what you guys could recommend to get the set up correct. Lots of advice already...
Hi guys,
I'm confuzzled. Looking through so many threads on here about the original Eibach sport springs i have found a glitch i would like ironing out. I recently replaced my trophy springs with a new pair. the part number number on the springs on the ones i replaced and like wise...
Can anybody who has AST top mounts advise on the rough value of full castor?
I've read on clio sport that it's advised to run them at max castor (from respected people not the usual idiots) but from what i can find the Trophy has more castor than other sport models as standard so maybe this...
Essentially, on Saturday, somebody parked their rather clean looking Trophy in our car park next to mine, the gf noticed & said, 'that red clio's really nice'. After then explaining to her that it was a Trophy, just like mine, & that under all the dirt, they were both exactly the same colour ...
Over the last 3/4 weeks I've been having a handling problem with the Trophy. Everything felt fine until I entered a left hand bend and I would turn the wheel but instead of turning in sharply the car would take a very wide path no matter how much I turned the wheel.
I checked the tyre pressures...

Good day chaps!
My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job.
