Cooksport Springs - Fitting (Megane 225)

[Nickson]

(My thread copied from MeganeSport.net)

​Hi guys,

I will be fitting my Cooksport springs and R26 shocks etc a week from now.


Having changed the springs on the Megane before, I've noticed that the Eibach's have rubber casings around the bottom few coils, as seen in the following picture:

Without sounding like a colossal idiot, is this something the Cooksport's should have too?


Is it something I can remove from the existing springs and swap over? Or are they not needed, hence the reason the Cooksport's do not come with them?


I've emailed Josh but haven't had a reply


Cheers guys!


EDIT: Same with the rears, should the rubber/plastic things be transferred over?


This is a generic picture from Google, but you know what I am getting at:

You'll never get the rubber casing off those coils

And if they don't have it, they don't need it

I have had my Cooksports fitted for well over 6 months now and have had no problems without the rubber sleeves, no strange noises or anything. They are normally fitted to stop the coils fouling against each other.

Perfect, thanks for the replies chaps.

Unfortunately I've already had the experience.

​To say I'm slightly annoyed about doing it again, would be an understatement.

It's easy, only took me 4 hours to do the fronts.

Lol! Exactly! I think my record on a clio is 40 minutes for all 4! 4 hours for the front is ridiculous!
