Help identify my rear suspension.

Not sure about springs, the marking isn't a renault part number so probably aftermarket.
Those KYB rear shocks are not right for any RS clio, let alone a cup. The KYB excel-G is supposed to be an improvement over OE quality, but the part listed for mark 2 clio's covers all varients except Renaultsports (they are too soft)
They also sell an even more "upgraded" rear shock called Gas-adjust (more KYB marketting b/s) and even they were not firm enough to be a suitable alternative to genuine renault shocks, so I've found.
Hope that helps a bit.

Yeah, Sorry if that's not what your wanting to hear mate.
KYB only list one "Excel-G" part number for all mark 2 clios - 343289. So its a fit-all varients shock. KYB's catalogue will suggest their "gas-adjust" is the right shock for 172/182 varients, howver I've tried them and got my money back as they were soft and slightly too long in travel.
