New 182 Trophy Owner Needs Advise

[MarcB]

Hi There Forum,

Just popped a deposit down on a Clio 182 Trophy but there is a small problem with the car and that is one of the front coil springs has broken.

Does anyone know if these are a special spring and roughly how much these are from renault ?

Is it a straight swap over like any other car or does the sachs shocks need set up again ?

Why dont you get the current owner to sort the problem out before paying the rest?

I got a fair whack off the price of the car for the coil spring being broken and i work in a garage and one of the guys said they will change it for nothing but we aint sure what is involved in teh shocks

Mark Fish Springs are £200 for all 4
1 x Trophy Eibach from Renault is about £200 lol ...

Just called Mark Fish & im ordering a full set of springs @ £180 + vat

I aint paying Renault OE prices @ £150+vat per spring

 

[Fred@BTM]

you can get sportlines for way less!

I know this might sound silly but i want to try and keep things as close to standrad as possible.

If my budget allowed i would have bought OE Renault parts but at that price there is no way i can.

As i say i dont know much about Clio sports and £180 for a full set of springs that are highly reccommended on here and cliotrophy.co.uk sound like a decent buy
