LOWERING CLIO RS 200

[Juggernaut1511]

Hey guys I'm getting an Akrapovic exhaust fitted next week and I figured while its in the garage id lower it on 30mm springs.
Heard a lot about H&R but what are the best springs to get and where from?
I have had a look around but knowing very little about these things I'm in need of help!

Thanks.

H&R = Very good brand, you can't go far wrong with them to be honest.

 

[Fred@BTM]

and they're a lovley shade of matt blue/purple

Cheers guys, is thee any particular H&R 30mm springs I need to get or just any providing there for the Clio sport?

H&R is litterally the only make that are going on 197's and 200's. Only a few people have gone with something else lol
what I've heard they're cracking.

 

[Munson]

So not literally at all?

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Very rare when someone picks anything apart from H&R with springs on the MK3's

Make sure you get the right ones in regards to the smaller top mount on the newer ones. What year is yours?

 

[Juggernaut1511]

2012 (62 plate) I couldn't trouble you for a link to the correct ones could I ?
cheers

Yeah I've been hearing about this a lot on other forums.. Mine is a 60 plate, when did they change it?

Very jealous of your akrapovic! When I win the euro millions on Friday then I'll get one

It's French. They made it up as they went along. You'll have to visually look at it.

[Tree200]

The Larkspeed ones are the newer top mount, 29103-2 is the part number you need

 

[jon_r]

The car sits nicely on the H&R's but they're fairly crashy IMO.

 

[Juggernaut1511]

Right nice one thanks again mate.

"General rule"

newer RS badged 200's run the newer top mounts. Badging like the 197 = older 197 type mounts

 

[Knuckles]

Today I learned

​top mounts affect spring choice as well as coilover/damper choice

Oh right, good to know, mine has the newer badge.. But I'll take a look under the bonnet tomo when I pick it up.

I see what you done there lol. I prob won't get springs for it until later next month.. Got two weddings in June.. 'Sigh'

Am thinking of going for these for my 200 60 plate what's the right spacers to bring the wheel out in line to the wheel arch?

*cough* Ive got KW V3s for sale *cough*

Sorted it out, I phoned Renault UK and they said it would have no affect on the 4year+ including servicing and breakdown cover. However It would affect the warranty to the extent that; only issues related to the modifications would not be covered.
