how much to do this

[Ian_182]

Could you transform a standard 172s suspension,track ,and lowering to replicate the cup.?Is it just a case of swapping bits and buying some springs from a dealer or is it more complex. And why dont renault sell a handling kit to enable all to experience va va voom.

thankyou

"replicate the Cup", errr....... youll be wasting loads of cash!

Just get coilovers?!

Ian - as paddy says, or some lowering springs and the camber bolts for £40 from k-tech racing. Maybe some spaces (and new studs of course!) to replicate the Cups track.

See JJ172s "172 handling transformed" thread on Exterior, Power... forum.

oh yeah, or do that! kin useless me!

 

[jonnyboy]

yeah might as well spend less cash and get some juicy coilovers and it would be better than a standard cup (which is not that much different to a 172 anyway)

I thought coilovers were upwards of £500 and you feel rabbit sh*t in the road when you drive over it.Springs sound good

 

[rt172]

Im going the springs / camber bolts / and 3mm spacers route myself. Cheap, cheerful and should do the trick. Would go for JJ172s package, but it involves too much travelling as Id have to go down south to have it fitted.

you can set them up like that if you want, you can set the ride height and damping rate up to suit yourself.
