182 suspension for £600-£700...what do i go for?

[big-al182]

wanting to change the suspension on my 182, and just wanting to sharpen everything back up as its 8yr old now, and dosnt feel as sure as as i think it should be. so im sort of on a budget and dont want to be paying out silly money just yet.
i just need to find something around the £600-£700 range, but dont know what to go for as there are that many...any suggestions?

not wanting a massive drop either.....30mm max

Just change it for Renault stuff.

New standard shocks and eibach sportline springs if you want a drop.

cheers, would eibach springs be better than standard by a long way then?

 

[Sam@NP]

Sportlines and standard dampers.

At last, some sense.

Can't see much change out of £700

Im gradually doing this on my 111k 182 FF and genuinely think for the money, standard dampers and sportlines, and OE everything else is a good bet.

I have however gone for powerflex bushes and some Pure Motorsport solid topmounts as I will be tracking it a fair bit this year, but the OE stuff has done fine thus far but is a little tired!

I have just changed most of that on ours, and it definately feels far more like how it should, all these components are goign to have play after a decade of use and its a cumulative effect between them adding to the handling sharpness fading.

Rack as well, but thats a bigger pain to fit, everything on that list though is really straight forward.

Obviously will need re-tracking afterwards of course.
