New Eibach Pro Springs - new dampers too?

[chur1996]

I've just bought the above, and just wondered whether it would be worth changing the dampers at the same time as fitting the springs?

It's an '02 172 with 58k on the clock. Just after people's opinions really, if they tend to go at 70k for example I may think about changing, if they last over 100k generally then I'll leave them be.

If they do need changing; how much would I be looking at for Renault parts, or are there any other makes people would recommend instead of the standard dampers?

I would imagine there is no need to change the dampers yet... you can get dampers from kam racing and k tec (these will be uprated ones than the standard renault clio ones i think) best of having a look, but unless you wanna spend the money now you could do it all at the same time... see what everyone else thinks...

springs should improve the handling quite a bit from what i've heard. I'd see how it feels once they have settled and if you're still not happy then maybe uprate the dampers for Koni or similar.

Cheers for that, not wanting to change the dampers if I can help it - bit strapped for cash! But if I have to, then I will...
