KDF, the ride quality is much better, not had a good chance to try out around some good corners yet but the ones I did I was very impressed. I measured before and I just measured now, it will take a while for the springs to bed in tho so I dont expect a change for a while. As for the socket...

LOL @ funky ! Mate, yours is lower than mine at the front, hmmmmmm, strange.

LOL ! **drum roll**

It bloody feels different tho doesnt it ?!?!? :D I always wanted them fitted for the ride quality as opposed to the look anyway they may settle more in time. Can you measure your ride height from the top of the rim to the bottom of the arch ?

Jay, should the drop be instant after the Eibachs are fitted ? My car is riding at the same height as it was before they were fitted ?

I stand corrected, the clear side repeaters do look much better ! LOL ! It would be a proper 4x4 with that ride height ! LOL ! Just been out to measure the ride height now, it is sitting at 13cm still, should it have dropped a bit by now ? 6 hours later and around 250 miles ? Was the...

Coco, clear repeaters are NOT standard so they must have been fitted by the previous owner. I have a list of mods I want. If you are getting the Viper I would get it done at the same time as the ECU as your car will be running too lean otherwise, so I have been told. You need a custom ECU for...

I have had them fitted ! http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=73852&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=13&TopicID=73852&PagePosition=1

Well....... today Mr ChavyBoy and myself fitted my new Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my MKII 172 ! When I say, Chavy and myself I meant Chavy and I watched while I fooked up putting on my clear repeaters ! (DONT ASK !) :oops: Here is the standard ride height on the fronts, 13 cm from the rim...

SilverRSC, anything to look out for when fitting the springs ? Did you have the tracking checked after they were fitted ? Happy ?!??! We are just about to go and fit mine now !

I forgot about this but when I was looking at buying the 172 the first time around, I went to the same dealer and he let me go out in the car on my own too. They seem good for sales there but I would not trust them with my car for servicing or repair !

I went for a look in the local Renault dealer, asked if I could test drive the 182 Cup they had, hadnt even finished asking him and the keys were thrown in my direction ! The missus and myself spent 40 mins on our own booting it around the place !

Just booked my car in for its first service on Monday, 22nd March. Forgot to check the price, will check on Monday. I have told them about the 4k rattle which they are going to look at. Is there anything else I should ask them to take a look at ? Just wanted to check, the car is just over...

Yeah they are cheap tyres usually put on sets of alloys when bought as a package by default. Similar to Hankook I think in the price department.

Smokey, with it not being trade then you may have a better chance of hacking out a deal. Waving £6k under the nose of an individual is VERY tempting, more so than a garage maybe ? From the pic it is very nice tho. They had a black MKI 172 on there with very small damage which had been...

After looking on http://www.autotrader.co.ukwww.autotrader.co.uk and seeing these then I would not pay £6k for the one you are thinking of Smokey : 2001 RENAULT CLIO 172 2.0 16V, 2001, Y reg. 28000 miles, metallic blue, leather interior, aircon, fRsh, excellent condition, tax. £7,000...

I agree with JillyB, if you can knock them down on that price then it could be a bargain, a lot of car for £5k - £5.5k !

There was a 172 in the For Sale section with around 50k for under £7k not long back, stanbo172 I think was selling it.

http://www.terra.com.mx/galeria_de_fotos/images/88/174073.jpg nuff said ! :D

It will be the same colour as the door plate, nothing else will be acceptable, I want it to match that colour. A bodyshop should be able to match it shouldnt they ? Rob, that is a good suggestion, I will do that.

I will have to get the wheel alignment done when I get back to Swansea. Yeah I have, they seem to be happy to leave them on as they have had no problems so far.

Just phoned Adrian Flux, got a quote for my MKII 172 with Eibach Pro-Kit suspension comes to £682.50 FC with NCD protection. Based on no legal, personal injury or breakdown cover. £300 excess on Fire & Theft £550 excess on Accidental Damage £50 excess on Windscreen Cover The quote...

The correct springs have just arrived and the old ones taken away ! All set for them to go on the weekend now ! Just getting a quote from Adrian Flux to see what they quote me including the suspension. Not sure whether to bother telling the insurance company or not yet.

Now that is a good (and obvious) point ! LOL ! Are they chrome or silver ? If a bodyshop could match them to the silver on the door plate I think they would look good ? Do you think these will look good ? Or cheap ? Viv, the springs are not on the car yet, they are being delivered today...

Sorry, you are right, take a look at this V6, they are the same covers : http://www.nology.com/clio.htmlhttp://www.nology.com/clio.html I found some Momo covers but they had Momo written on them so I thought they were the wrong ones but as shown above they are right. These are the covers I...

This was posted in another thread but it was off topic so it was getting lost so I wanted to post a new thread. This is the 172 Turbo from Mexico that was posted a while back. http://www.terra.com.mx/galeria_de_fotos/images/88/174073.jpg I love those chrome/silver wing mirrors, where can I...

For those fitting these springs on the weekend (_KDF and SilverRSC), what else do you need to sort out once the springs are on ? I have been told that you need to sort out the wheel alignment after it has been done as the lower ride height will mean they are not aligned as they should be ...

Cheers mate, me too ! All will be sorted on Sunday !

I am 24, 5 years NCD, SP30 fine with 3 points, SA4 post code, kept in a garage, doing 10000 miles a year. Got a quote with Direct Line for £640 FC with NCD protection. £60 cheaper than I am paying with Tesco. Direct Line and Privilege were good for me but I am pretty sure they are the same...

Mirror covers ? Are you sure ? I thought they were the whole thing ? Do you take the existing ones off and fit these plastic bits instead then ?
