How soft should stock rear suspension be -182

[PhilWalterNZ]

My 182 has had both its rear struts replaced with Boge Turbos ( which I think is the correct shock ?) recently by its previous owner. However it seems very wallowy in the rear. Without much effort I can move the back of the car up and down very easily through a decent amount of suspension travel. I know there is hardly any weight in the rear of the clio, but is this normal ?

I have checked the shocks for signs of leakage and there appears to be none. I am wanting to move into Eiback Sportlines anyway very soon.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

genuine ONLY, all the after market ones (ie the ones you have) are s**t

Genuine are KYB if you can get hold of them, Wish they'd bring out AGX (adjustable damping) versions, superb on other cars.

Ahhh...interesting, there is my problem then ! It is under warranty so if they have replaced with the incorrect shock then need to get it sorted. So KYB is what I need. Thanks very much guys.

they're not a lot of money from renault to be fair, about £55 a side

Have you considered the koni adjustables if you're content on keeping it relatively OEM?

Yes, looking at that option. Koni's with Eibach Sportlines seem like they would be a nice upgrade. I live in NZ, so not as much choice as you chaps enjoy over there but will ask around
