removing/replacing sash dampers

[edddc]

hello all, im new to Clio Trophy ownership and my sash dampers are kinda shot. I got a spare set of shocks (not sure if there good or bad, there from Renaultsport) but was going to put these in and have the sash ones refurbed. is it a big job removing the front shocks?

also i had new disks put on the front and the brakes are not great. a mechanic had a quick look for me without stripping down and he mention inside of the disk not having alot of contact with the pad...... anyone have any experience with this kinda thing?

cheers, ed

Hardest part will be removing the top mounts, if you're doing it without an impact wrench.

And nice trolling with the sash

Only 182 CUP dampers will fit the Trophy. Send them off to Cornering Force, they are the best priced and also do a brilliant job.

Also if you sign up for club membership, you will (amongst many other things) get access to the technical guides forum. These may be helpful to you for doing jobs like brakes and removing suspension.

Jesus, i had been given a company called BG Motorsport at silverstone for refurb, they gave me a cost on email during the week....is Cornering Force better priced? also, do you know how much 182 cup dampers are?

thanks again....ed

Cornering Force was £180 for both dampers when I got mine done. BG was around £400 then they try and sell you 'optional extras'. I got a set of used 182 Cup dampers for £50 off here in the marketplace, they're just sat in the garage now.

Simon @ cornering force knows his stuff, this was his price when I spoke to him last month.

£85 for the strip, clean and rebuild with new seals, oil, regas and dyno test/match.
£20 to un-pin (if they haven’t been done already) – strongly recommended as it allows us to match them up on the dyno.
£7.50 for new Schrader valves (if required)
£55 to blast and passivate/powder coat (if required)
£15 for return courier

Price is per damper.
