    H&R lowering springs for standard shock absorbers, any reviews?

    I was really impressed with the H&Rs I had on my 197, and they rave about them on 197.net. IIRC H&R are owned by Eibach anyway, which can't be a bad thing!

    Paint peeling - Renault won't sort it....

    RUK are never very helpful tbh. The only way to get anything done is go over their heads to the management. I emailed Jeremy Townsend - Renault UK Communications Director, and he helped me get my recaro issues resolved on my 197. May also be worth dropping him an email -...

    Fancyplates

    They won't have fancyplates written on them. I bought and fitted a set of standard plates from them last week and they don't have anything written on them (apart from the usual markings in the bottom RH corner)

    Nimbus 197 F1 GD07 BRZ

    Hi mate - that was me! Was on my way back from Norfolk visiting my rents. Didn't spot you though I'm afraid. Was a disappointing run down tbh, only say a liquid yellow R26R up near snetterton, and an albi blue 225 in Dorking.Whereabouts on the M25 did you see me?

    Simply French - Beaulieu - Sunday 8th July

    Haha we'll see! I'd be more concerned about ade tbh! He can crash over at mine if needs be though. Depends on the route. 272 I'm guessing? Have to see if you can keep up this time though!!

    Difference between Ktec and Janspeed??

    Janspeed make exhausts for Ktec - they're not the same company though. It should fit if the bores are the same? Might be worth confirming with Ktec though.

    Talk me through 197's

    I'd say an F1 is worth it mate, bearing in mind they have the recaros as standard whereas would be an extra on an FF, which you may pay more for. If you want recaros then IMO the F1 is better value. (Am slightly biased though!)Between £7k-£8k is about right i'd say. That UR on cs has new tires...

    lowering...

    I bought the H&Rs mate. Improved the handling, less body roll and felt much sharper - same as all lowering springs tbh! The ride is a bit crashy though as obviously the shocks are compressed, but nowhere near as bad as some.
