Just an update if anyone is interested.
Been on a couple of months. Excellent gear change but finding that the rattle on idle is slightly more than when first put on.
I don't mind it tho but if you do it's something to think about.

My old suspension is at my dads and he has told me there was nothing at all between the spring and the shock.
I thought that this was odd... If it's ok to put it back together without it then that's fine.
I rang renault in Leeds and they said they could get one but it would take two weeks to...
Good Morning,
I am changing back to 172cup fronts with cooksports and was looking to find a full breakdown of what was needed.
Does anyone have a diagram or a breakdown from bottom to top of all components needed?
I have been searching the web (and here) for guides but nothing has come up...
Oh dear mate.
I have bought the 172cup shocks and have the 182 shocks on the rear (I believe that some say the tears are the same as the 172's)
I am heading the other way- from budget coilovers to springs as I didn't rate the coilovers any better than the 91k suspension that was on the dear...
I am using Easter. RenaultWolverhapton has sorted me out with the fronts and I have 500 miles on the backs already so looking forward to this after some "shocking" coilovers.
Had them out and the question is- front shocks. Does the wider end of the spring go at the top or bottom?
Ordered them on Sunday chap. Just a little worried with it being a short week this and next. Not the end of the world but will have plenty of time over the 4 day weekend to fit.
Fingers crossed they come today. :)
Hi mate, whats the distance between the centre of the wheel and the lip of the car on this. looks ideal and I am struggling at the moment getting a good coilover height
Been out for a nice drive today. Everything feels good.
One thing that I can report is a slight (not really noticeable) vibration below 1000 rev's on idle.
Now this doesn't bother me at all as you can only hear/feel it if you look out for it.
I think it's worthwhile but obviously I have only...
I haven't noticed. I had the Mrs in the car and didn't drive very spiritedly on the way back.
I had just put coilovers on that I need to adjust on the weekend before I take her out for some Sunday driving. I will update.
Hi Steve.
Fitted them on Sunday and drove 150 miles back home.
Really has made a difference to the gear change. Best way of describing it is it feels a bit more meatier and less flimsy really.
Really easy to fit. Took about 20 mins.
Just a Noob question. I am putting some coilovers on and have been advised to use current topmounts as the ones on the coilovers are not the best.
Are the top mounts under tension? Or will they just screw off?
Sorry if this seems obvious but at a glance last night I was unsure and the last...
Hi buddy. In short no.
I don't have anything to do it with in Leeds. Going to fit them a week on Friday when I go back to my dads. I have a stack of things to do.
Injectors
Coilovers
Strutbraces
Dogbones
Going to make a day of it. Will defiantly let you know.
