Standard. You could buy shitty coilovers for that money, but not worth it. buy new standard ones.

So buy some new standard ones rather then sum spax adjustables?

I changed from racelands to standard and the 4 shocks came to £200ish from Wests Reanult on here. Much better imo.

yeah save a ton and go genuine. or use that ton and get some eibach springs

Is Wests Renault a dealer or a member? I priced up new springs and shocks @ £100 a corner hence buying raceland coilovers ;( lol
Looks nice being that low tho!!!

 

[daddycool]

Both I think. Shocks are £50 a corner from renault, springs prob the same

visually, leaking.
driving, the car will feel unsettled over the slightest bumps.

Give cliospares a shout on here, I got a rear shock off him for £25. You'll know if the rear shocks are knackered, the car will be really really twitchy and unsettled.
