Mk3 GT questions please 🙏



  Clio expression+ dci
Hi,
I have just bought a 59 plate white GT 1.6 petrol and need help sourcing the correct springs and shocks. It's not had much love in the past, so I'm giving it some tlc with a thorough going over. It's had a full service, spark plugs, air and pollen, brakes all round, tyres and wheel refurb. I have also replaced the front radiator subframe. I'm now turning my attention to the suspension.
There are so many variations of shocks and springs on Autodoc etc I haven't a clue which ones to buy. Did the GT come with sports suspension? I don't want to lower the car just replace with factory spec similar ones as these are crusty and rusty.

There’s a Facebook group called RPD - Renault Parts Direct, you’ll be pleasantly Surprised at how cheap OE parts are. And even cheaper from these guys. 👍

It's specific springs and dampers on the GT, others will most likely fit but the spec of the standard ones were much different from the normal mk3, my mate had a mk3 dynamique S at the same time I had my GT DCI and the difference in the way they handled and the body roll was massive.

Just message Renault parts direct, the OE parts are cheap as chip, I ordered shocks for my 197 and they were like ÂŁ50 a shock!
