182 cup rear shocks

Does anybody know roughly how much these are from the reno stealers? how long the new ones will last? is there any after market units as good? cheers myles:approve:

got quoted £150 for a pair of my 172 cup dampers but i dont know if it was right or not.

I do know the life expectancy is 30-35k though

I'd go for aftermarket coilovers if your out of warently and have some spare £ but there not cheap.

~£50 you'll be expecting to pay (Renault prices chnage a lot) best chnage both sides at once.

They'll last somwhere between 1 second and 100 years. Its a total mystery some last a few month some a few years driving sytel doens't matter its just luck I'd say 40k on adverage.

:clown: Nice one ,thanks gonna get them both done, coil overs would be cool but the standard suspension is more than adequate for my poor driving skills

The best thing I ever ever did was change mine 46k.

Handles SO much better now, it's unreal.

110 for the pair IIRC. Fitted them myself.

Dealer quoted me £43.51 each for rear shocks for a FF Mk2 172. Assume they are the same parts for a cup. Mine lasted about 3.5 Yrs (30k) which seems about right for them.
