Are these Cup springs?

[plenty]

Got a set of front springs here sold to me as Cup springs, and trying to work out if they are actually Cup items. I suspect they are not as I have seen photos of Cup springs showing five full winds whereas these have four.

No paint markings on the springs, but they do have numbers printed on one of them: 74829 T486333.

Which Cup? 172? 182?

 

[Daz...]

They should have coloured dots on them to help identify them.

Sorry, 182 Cup.

They don’t have any dots on them.

Wouldn't they also have Renault on them if they were genuine?

 

[hipwell]

Renault springs have a dot.

Well, all the ones I've ever had did anyway on my 172 and 182

They look like some aftermarket ECP type of springs to me. Genuine cup springs have red and white dots on them.
172 cup, 182 cup and 182 cup packed all had the same springs.

Thanks. Pretty sure that 172 Cup and 182 Cup/FF springs are different. 172 Cup front springs have yellow and white dots while 182 Cuo/FF springs have yellow and blue dots.

182 cup packed springs are definitely red and white dots. And yeah you're right 172 cup springs are yellow and white.

It was my understanding the rear Cup springs have red and white dots whereas the fronts have yellow and blue as per this pic

Reading alot regarding springs.

Hope you pro's will know the answer.

I have a clio 182 FF completely standard.

Will cup springs fit on it?

The set I have purchased have white dots on the rears and suplex 27202 on the fronts?

Any advice appreciated

182 Cup springs are the same ones that come on the FF Cup pack cars.

If you have an FF then you’ll already have the cup springs on them, so changing them for changing sake won’t yield any benefit As far as I know. I had a non cup suspension 182 and fitted cup springs for better height.
