New suspension fitted

[ChrisR]

Finalyl had all my new suspension bits fitted today, brand new Renault shocks and a set of Eibach Pro lines (and a new top mount as one was broken).

Very happy with it, car doesn't look much lower at all (good thing in my books, not what I'm after), feels a lot more solid when going through some hard corners and soaks up the bumps a lot better now. Refreshing the shocks I think are the main reason for this (old ones were leaking a little), but so far very happy with the setup as it's not very hard.

Will take some at work tomorrow It's a bit filthy tho, bloody black cars

Oh and forgot ot say, it's a mk1 172.

there is a noticeable difference with the springs, a very nice ride(im used to apex's!)

 

[ChrisR]

I could tell on the way home it was much better, still feel bumps but they appear softer, and the ride isn't crashy at all.

Then taking it round this monster bend by work I could tell they made cornering better (the one from the M5 roundabout Sandygate on to Rydon lane, huge sweeping left hander)

i have these on my mk1 172 too. you should now get some camber bolts fitted and you will find yourself taking corners at speed you never thought off previously
