I thought the only difference was the springs. Are you in need of suspension?

Hello mate i am not sure if the 1.2 springs will fit, i doubt it because i am sure the struts that come with the 172 are unique to that and the cup but i may be wrong. I have a set of h&r's in the garage in mint condition if you are interested? pm me if you are keen. cheers eddie

Its common for the shocks to go, but best to have them checked just to make sure before changing them, i think they ar eabout £60 a corner to replace. I have a set going if needed. All the best

it could be your shocks, have a look at them and see if they have leaked any fluid.

There is a very good garage in hillington, called kenny brown im sure there are a few members who have used him before. I got coilovers etc fitted and corner weighted very good job.

Im sure the cup stuff will fit

Thats got to be some sort of record!!!!!

Im sure the cup shocks are the same, only difference was the springs so you should be fine.

its shocking that some last for ages and others fail.

The roads are a joke!! Are they not covered by warrenty?

not sure on their life span mate, but only getting 9k miles out of them aint right!!!! I have for 172 cup shocks with h&r springs for sale if needed. Hope you get it sorted soon

anyone interested in standard 172 cup shocks with 10-12k on them with h&r springs with half of that? They are sitting in my garage doing nothing. make me an offer if interested cheers

i think at the moment they are a renault only part, i think they are priced around £50 a corner.

no problem mate

all the dampers have done something like 10-12k miles and the springs about half of that. They were changed ages ago for fk coilovers and the car has only done 32k miles all in, i have sold the car and have some parts left over. They are in very good condition with all bolts and rubbers.
