Oem rear springs

[andrewc2102]

My 182 seems to have mismatched springs on the rear so id like to replace them but the Renault ones seem silly expensive, there are loads for much cheaper on eBay and as far as I'm aware as long as they are the same spring rate they will do the same job? Granted they might not last as long but at a quarter of the price this just isn't an issue.

May be worth changing the lot for uprated springs, either Eibach sportlines or prolines or Cooksport on here

Or check the market place on here, for second hand genuine parts or the springs I mentioned above if budget is tight mate . They come up now and again

If yours is cup packed you won't get an Ebay spring for it. Might do for a standard 182. It really is a bit of a gamble it seems. I've just removed a 172 aftermarket spring from my 172 cup as they don't do an aftermarket cup spring and the previous owner was clueless or was lied to.. Getting on for £100 a spring is a bitter pill but Peugeot are the same and I'm sure other companies are even steeper.

Cough up for Renault or go in for uprated ones is the safest options.

You might get lucky and be able to pick up a set from someone that has gone for Eibachs or similar but they do break on the front so the net isn't swimming with them.
