RPD site is showing out of stock and the other bunch in Wolverhampton have none on the bay at the moment which doesn't bode too well.....

I tried to buy some off Renault wolverhampton from eBay last week & today they refunded the money.

They also sent a message saying they are no longer available to buy from Renault & their eBay listing has now been cancelled.

I'm almost at the point of losing hope I'll ever get the origional suspension on the car. Can't get springs & now rear dampers. May just have to give up & go the cup route.

I’m really surprised that the eBay listing has been removed as it looked like the still had quite a few left. When I last checked they had over 30 pairs left. Wish I’d bought a pair now!

Is there any difference between the Trophy rears and a set of cup rears?

Yes, I always meant to buy another spare set especially as I should have learnt the lesson from part availability for the 5GTT. General consensus seems to think that they are simply a version of the 172/182 but make by Sachs but i don't think anyone has ever measured them. I think maybe fit the Koni and put the Sachs away for later.

Quick question of my own. Do the dust guards that come with the rear 1*2 dampers fit the Sachs?

Hi, has anyone got a picture of the rear Sachs by any chance? And what the original part number?

Cheers

I have a brand new spare set of the oringinsl silver version in the garage which I can take a picture of for you tomorrow.

Does anyone know whether the rears can be reconditioned? These are looking harder to source than the fronts!!

Like the wheels from Speedline, I thought the rear and front dampers for that matter were a Renault commissioned item and as such those manufacturers would not be able to supply even if they wanted to. But heres hoping.

I did measure the difference on the rears against std cup units.. It's not a big difference but it is " different " about 3%in bump and 5% in rebound if I recall ..

Was that firmer in bump and rebound over the cup ones? Also, could they be serviced like the fronts?

Yes firmer than cups.. but as I said it's very subtle
I haven't looked into servicing as they were still available to buy.. Plus the cost would make it ridiculous .. The Konis would be a far better bet
