sportlines

Hi - probably a dumb question, but if I want to get #478 feeling as "new" as I can, and i'm already all-in for a BG damper refurb, assume it makes sense to do the rears as well. Original sachs rears seem to be £105 as well - questions are: - Just the shocks, or make sense for Springs as well...

So, my dampers are well and truly in need of a refurb :( Whilst they're off the car, I thought I might as well collect some bits to give the suspension a bit of an overhaul / refresh. I'll be replacing the steering rack bushes, ARB bushes, track rod arms and boots, track rod ends, lower...

Hi. Im just wondering a few things. On my car I have a set of Mark Fish springs. The car came with them fitted. I also got the standard springs as part of the deal. Without changing them around, can somebody tell me,, Are the MF springs shorter an stiffer than he standard ones.? If so, how...

Hi, this is what i currently run with some thoughts on changes; JMS RS2 with upgraded engine mounts ( probably replace with standard and get updated map ) upgraded dogbone and gearbox mounts. fully polybushed all round. whiteline rear arb. standard suspension all round with refurbed front sachs...

Which dampers do you guys order from larkspeed, the only ones I can find say they excluding cup and trophy. I know the fitments the same but I'd assume dampening rates are different. If anyone has a link that would be great Cheers

I've had #455 for nearly two and a half years now. It was my first hot hatch and I fell instantly & deeply in love with the well-matched performance & handling. I always said it's a car I'll have forever, but more recently I've started thinking maybe it's time to move on and try something...

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...

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)...

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'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...

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...

These are a hot topic at the mo so thought I'd post up my thoughts... I have now had Cooksports on my T for a week now. A point to note, my front Sachs dampers are in good condition, refurbed recently and no leaks... Rears however are cup shocks, awaiting new Sachs/Koni's to go on. Ride -...

Well I've had the car quite a while now and I'm really enjoying it. Anyway I've spent a few quid on the car lately sorting out some bits and bobs that were bothering me. The new additions include: Miltek catback Eibach Sportlines and camber bolts Heko wind deflectors Also a few months back now...

Since swapping my springs over to sportlines I now have 3 front springs! Selling the best condition 1 of the lot, done around 40k iirc, pictures on request. I know most people replace in pairs but might be of use to someone on here as a spare if one of theirs suddenly fails etc. Make me some...

Just brought a trophy and one of my front sachs has gone :( plus I have snapped a spring. Been advised by bg that its best to get both done at the same drive in and out cost around £700(without springs) I've read some people are switching them out for h&r's/spax rsx kits and I'm swaying...

Whats there to say really, BigDave popped round Saturday morning as a mate of ours was fitting ktr/vibratechnics uprated engine + gearbox mounts and a powerflex dogbone so while they were doing that i cracked on with getting the sachs back on the trophy and fitting the sportlines, turned the...

So my nearside shock failed a few weeks ago and got sent off to Simon st cornering force for a rebuild + powder coating. I decided to go for yellow to match the rear konis and also got a set of sportlines to go on them, so I googled the colour code for the konis and passed them on to Simon...

I'm looking to buy a set of 2118's as my turini's are shagged. But is it going to look like a moon buggy with the 15" wheels without lowering it? Or will I need lowering springs to avoid the puddle jumper look? Has anyone got a picture with the, on without the car being lowered? Thanks.

Hi all, As per title, money waiting.

What kind of springs work best with the Sachs apart from the standard ones? Looking to go for stiffer springs but don't want to wreck the dampers in the process. Thanks.

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...

as above anybody tryed cooksport springs on a trophy? are they not as good as sportlines?

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...

I set the newly refurbed dampers to (what I thought was) 22 clicks. It was as stiff as anything, handled well but felt extremely unstable on the motorway and there was literally no body roll. I've turned them down a few times and there's a slight bit of body roll now and it feels better...

Hi all, Where can I buy the standard trophy front springs from? If they aren't available what is the next best cheapest solution? Regards, Eliot

Hi all, a couple of weeks back we fitted some sportlines to BigDaves trophy which seem to be absolutely fine, so I thought I'd get myself a set and fit them to my trophy only difference being mine has the ktr solid top mounts, anyway no worries there got them apart and back together with the...

Front ones yellow, rears black is this right?

Fit 172/182 and been on my car for approx. 10k miles. £90 collected, postage available at cost

Or perhaps not. This is a Trophy afterall ... Handling > Lowz:up: On Sachs / Sportlines On H&R's Very pleased so far, ride is lovely, far better than the Sachs in fact, which would imply that they are probably a little softer. Havent really pushed it particularly hard as the camber/toe...

How much should they bounce exactly? Has anyone done a video at all ... Mine seem to move fairly easily - although they were only refurbed 13k ago lol (not by BG)
