Phase 1 172 v Phase 2 Cup

[Tav]

Yeah I'm sure Renault went to ALL the bother of changing a good few suspension components when all they REALLY needed to do was pop a few 5mm spacers on...how come a huge percentage of people on here go on and on about straight line speed then claim all the models handle the same? How can a car with revised springs, dampers, track, castor etc. feel the same to drive?!?!

The wheel offset was the main component change and no it wasnt 5mm spacers although you do that to a ph1 and you'll improve the handling ten fold! The rest was simply tweeking here and there.

Bugger all advantage bolting on some Cup shocks to a ph1 over replacment items.

so it would make no difference using cup shocks with eibach pro's over standard 172 ones..
