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

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...
Lets just cut straight to the chase<BR><BR><BR>
I have wanted this model ever since it was released in 2005.
Just got back from collecting and without doubt its the best handling car I have ever owned, its pure epic!
Spec list/info and more pics to follow, once I have had some food and a...
Daydreaming at work and thought others might like to join in/help out, especially if you're as bored as me!!
Current spec is standard, plus:
Wiper stalk mod
Brembo/Ferodo discs & pads
ITG panel filter
One of the rear dampers is on the way out, leaking, so will be replaced with a pair of Koni...
Hi guys,
Thought I'd share some recent snaps of my Trophy. Since we're having lovely weather atm and the car was clean post CSS, I thought it appropriate to go for a blast and take the camera along...
There was then a sunset...
Think that just about covers it...
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...
Tonight I was looking at my Trophy and something wasn't right with the stance, jacked it up to find the driver side front spring broken. Somehow it had managed to break and go under the upper half??? So the car sits higher on that side now :?
Before I phone Renault tomorrow I was considering...
Hi Guys, I know some of this has been covered in other topics but I'm trying to bring it all together and get peoples views.
As my dampers are going away soon to be rebuilt and depinned, I was wondering about the rest of the suspension setup.
What kind of things have you guys done to sharpen up...
OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ...
So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...
Just got myself a Trophy which has the Mark fish springs and koni rear shocks. Have played around with the settings on the shocks and as recommended elsewhere on here have set the rears at 1 and a quarter off full soft and the fronts at 22 clicks. I do a lot of road miles and am finding the...
Ok, so i dont normally whore, but thanks to James (JMS) and Mike (FailSport) last night, the TroFail is now finished. I'm sure a few of you will have read my project thread, & i'll update that with more info than in here, but chuffed isnt the word, it drives brilliantly & looks ruddy lovely imho...
One of the coil springs has broken at the front of the 182 Trophy and i was punching my head with what i was going to do as the OE Renault ones are £150 a spring.
Just called Mark Fish and ordered a full spring kit for the 182 Trophy.
Has anyone got this spring kit on there car and if so what...
So i got up and decided the trophy was looking pretty dirty and i has no other plans so i got stuck into it ,
Quick clean with the cleaning liquids , didnt get any after this there all after shots :)
Upgraded the rear seats and the doorcards for the trophy
So after a quick...
Hi guys
I have got some Eibach Sportlines on mine but it seems more people are changing the springs on the Trophy. Anyone got any good recommendations? .. I have even heard the soft dare i say Apex have even had good reviews on the Trophy dampers.
Cheers for spring or damper related info...
I am soon to fit some eibach sportlines to the Trophy. I know that this will affect the geometry somewhat so i was going to book it in to have a wheel alignment, but do i need camber correcting bolts as it is being lowered?
Cheers
just taken the T for its MOT and was gutted to realise it had failed on a broken rear spring :( just the point on the end of the bottom coil. Rang my local Renault dealer up for a price and was told that my car had the 'Extreme Pack' on it, and it would be £138+vat #-o . Now i have 2 questions...

Just need some help on a spring choice for the trophy... I have just sent my dampers off for a refurb And got some new rear dampers to. During all this I noticed I had a snapped spring, so before the dampers come back I need to get some springs... After Reading loads of threads I'm...
Spoke to Mark yesterday as i'm keen to purchase some of his stuff in the next couple of months.
Whilst i was on the phone i thought it would be best to ask about a group buy - he seemed to think that 10% off would be ok for 10 confirmed orders. But im sure we could get something for 5 as well...
Thought this one was worth a mention here:
2004/04 RS 182 both Cup Packs, Artic Blue. 62000m FSH, Renault , Rentec and my own local Renault experts. Loads of bills and invoices including:
K TEC Remap

Hey,
Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get rear suspension for trophy part number 8200 519 954. I am finding it difficult to find someone that stocks 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!

I'm currently having my dampers refurbished and had a snapped spring so I'm looking at getting some alternatives as replacements from Renault are a shocking price. I was recommended the Sportline Springs by Yozzasport but some other people think they will lower the car by up to 50mm?!
Has...
I am looking to get my dampers rebuilt and change the rears to konis in the nxt month or so...but Was wondering about changing my springs - which are a good buy? I used to have Eibach Sportlines on my 172 cup but they were mainly for looks, where the prolines seem to be better for the handling...
