springs

Howdo, I'm hoping some of you tecnically minded people will be able to help but you will have to bear with me while I try to explain it. I have a very loud metal snapping noise coming from cenrally under the engine, this is only when turing the wheel staionory or manoeuvring slowly. The noise is...

Hi all, Has anyone fitted a proper track suspension setup i.e. AST etc... i'm talking 600lb+ springs at front. If yes, what do you have and how is it? Went out in a full track AST car and it was amazeballs:cool:. I want it on my car now. Ps. don't tell me not to as its a trophy, heard it all...

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!

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...

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...

At the request of a few people I've taken a few pictures to illustrate the height of 15" F1's with Cooksports. Wheels are 7J ET38 iirc. Tyres, 195/50/15. No spacers. Shoddy effort with the camera. Parked. Took Photos. Went home. Too windy. No tripod. Trophy on 15's_09 by Sam_Wick, on Flickr...

Hello everyone! The Evo Diaries video which Harry Metcalf did a few days ago was the last straw.... I've gone for it, and will be picking my first hot clio up this evening :D THe little Trophy will compliment a Series 1 Lotus Elise in the "fleet" and will replace my 1.9 205 GTi..... Assuming I...

Clio 182 Trophy No. 108 After 4 years of ownership I am reluctantly selling my much loved Trophy. It has received nothing but the best treatment in its life, and is a truly superb example of the car. I have had to purchase a smart fortwo to get me around the streets of London, and the Clio...

Hi I've just refitted my Sachs after CF serviced them and like at least one other person on here they seem incredibly firm. Now I've owned my T for about 5 years and I've driven lots of other Ts so I have a pretty good idea of what's normal, and quite frankly my Sachs dampers currently feel...

Renault Sport Clio 182 Trophy well maintained reluctant sale (company car and girlfriend says I cannot have 3 cars) £4500 Loads of history and hundreds spent but still standard (part from cat back miltec exhaust) MOT 14/05/14 needed new CAT to pass this year TAX 30/11/13 Full Service carried...

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...

Hi all just wondering if there's any interest in buying my t. In two minds for selling for the v6 or r26.r. 41 on the clock fsh shocks just rebuilt by bg with two new front eibach springs about 2000£ worth of carbon fibre on and in it. cambelt water pump dephaser pulley and aux kit just...

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 -...

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...

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

Hello, I've bought a trophy and I love it lots, but there's a couple of niggles: 1) I feel the car is slightly down on power, the car has an incomplete service history and i'm told the cambelt was changed by the previous owner, it's suggested that I get the timing checked, does anyone know how...

I need some front new springs, is there anywhere I can get the normal yellow eibach springs or do I have to change? My suspension goes in tomorrow and I've just noticed it by taking it off one of the springs has broken but I want to replace the pair. cheers

Looking for a part number for trophy front springs as 1 snapped

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...

Regular stalker of this forum but never time to post T450 is all well (apart from CV boot clip fail) currently on 41k. Anyway, whilst changing the front discs today I realised the T needed some TLC on her, so I plan to refurb the front dampers, new springs on front, lower wishbones, powerflex...

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...

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.

Pair of Eibach front springs in good condition no cracks etc open to offers as I have no idea how much they are worth!

In the market for a pair of new front springs since I have discovered that the right hand one is cracked. I am looking to go for the original spec springs (Renault part number 8200514730) but have seen various threads quoting a variety of different prices from different Renault dealerships...

Having owned 259 for 6 weeks or so but spent 4 weeks of that abroad working, it was time to sort out the front end of the car. The fog lights were missing and the splitter a mess. I fitted some new Fog Lights and a Seat Splitter to refresh the front end. I am happy with the result...
