Ride Height

[old_man_trophy]

Does anyone think that the Trophy rides a little high? It looks like it could do with being lowered about 30mm to me.

There must be a reason for the height - does anyone know?

It does appear to sit quite high, but that doesn't really worry me. Its supposed to be 10mm lower than the 182 cup suspension at the front, but it have to say it doesnt look like it.

hmm, a couple of friends have been taking the micky saying that it still has it's shipping settings applied, to get it on and off the boat.

:lol:

:evil:

Take them for a quick spin around the block in it and then ask them if they still think its funny :lol:

I think the car is spot on, i dont care that people think it sits high, I know that when i push it into the corner the car sticks.

they are a bit high but at least you dont get the shit shooked out of you by having shit lowering springs on it.
My cup has a nasty ride thanks to them #-o

I popped into the Renault dealer in Reading yesterday to ask about the different wiper arm (a different thread), when I got talking about the ride height. The "Technical" chap there said that there are three different settings that you can have the Trophy. Is this true or is he talking out of his a$$e?

It does seem a little high, when I ordered my Trophy I took one for a test and compared it to my 172 cup. My 172 was considerably lower, but I think the shocks may have been shot and I also had a stealth sheld with speakers and a sub in the boot.

he's probably thinking of three suspension settings for the 182 - ie standard, cup and trophy. you know what these renault turds are like! - thick as a whale sandwich
