Sportlines fitted to the 172

[Martin_172]

Fitted my Eibach Sportlines the other day, all i can say is WOW what a difference for £150!! the ride high has a nice drop, sits the way it should have sat from factory!!

handling is nearly on par with my old coilovered car!

Just need to get my K-Tec Splitter fitted now when i can be arsed doing it!

 

[Alan]

Lookin good mate...

Al need to fire over one day and have a wee look see!!

Had sportlines on mine since March last year, amazin...Yozzasport system next?

 

[col182]

looks sweet m8,am tempted

 

[CH33MA]

looks nice, whats the ride comfort like?

 

[Martin_172]

aye alan we'll get a wee meet arranged soon, aye yozzasport race system next a think (well once a get the damaged fixed where it got hit wi a brick!)

ride feels exactly as it was standard, if not better! but when you throw it into a bend its planted, VERY good springs!

 

[Jonaldinho]

Yozzasport race system!? Your brains will pour out your ears!

Nice one about the springs. I think im going to get them. Can you tell me how much clearance you have at the front? Interested as you know im in redneckland and I want to keep my carbon splitter. lol

 

[Martin_172]

yeah mate ill measure it later (keeping in mind ive not got a splitter on yet)

i like the quiet exhaust but at the same time miss my old loud 1.2 poping! just had a brand new exhaust fitted under warranty too last week

 

[Jonaldinho]

I can recommend the new K-Tec stealth. Reasonable when you want it to be but sounds great under acceleration. Passengers don't mind it either which saves muchos nagging!

 

[BoomOne]

we dont get those springs down here
whats the price of them there by you?

 

[Christophe]

nice. 30mm drop are they???

 

[mwaters]

Looks nice - are they these ones...

Renault Clio 172 B (BB) From :09/98>09/05, Will Fit: Clio 172
Eibach Sportline Springs
ONLY £133.57 (inc VAT)
Delivery on this item is £8.95
Lowers Front: 45-50 mm & Rear: 30 mm

I was wondering - if you fit these would the front end not sit sooooooo low because of the engine weight and make the rear end look like is jacked up? I cant afford coilovers but wanted to really drop my car...

 

[_Kenny_]

Looking good

 

[Martin_172]

thats the ones yet, but dont worry the front will go no where near -45-50mm, i had a 60mm kit on my 1.2 and it was much lower

 

[Rob's172]

i'll 2nd what u have said about the sortlines! great spring, i only payed £123 for them as well

 

[Tom_E]

Look v.nice, my set are sitting in my room to ready to replace the apex!

got mine from venom motorsport @£134 next day delivery as well, which i was suprised at!

Hi Guys,

Do you have to adjust the xenon lights after lowering with sportlines? Thats what stopping me from buying them

Thanks,
K.

 

[Martin_172]

ive not and not noticed any problems, there still just as shite to drive with compaired to my old 1.2 with its mega "off road use only" rally bulbs haha

 

[mwaters]

quality! i used to have rainbow tinted halogens on my 1.2 back in the day when i'd just passed - caused a few issues.

how did it cost you to fit your springs? im thinking i might make these my first mod when pay day comes in two weeks...

 

[mwaters]

ps am i also right in thinking that these arent bedded in yet as you;ve just fitted them so should drop down a bit more?

 

[DebV6]

Looking good! I've just bought some, I can't wait to get them on!

I want them! I know what you mean i'd prefer 45mm rear 30mm at front as i find the front sits lower as standard already. do they not do them this way

the xenon have auto adjusters but the whole car i lower (only by a very small bit as well) so wont make much/any diffrence

 

[Martin_172]

mwaters, yep not bedded in as there just fitted, and fitting cost wasnt an issue as i done them myself, only takes an hour.

 

[fatboyslim]

Very nice, think ill be going for a set of these next.
Wasn't happy with my car at the track yesterday and I put a lot of it down to the coilovers.

 

[mini-valver]

Have you had the coils set-up properly? Camber/toe etc?

 

[Alan]

You dont need to have that done with just springs mate...tracking at most..

 

[fatboyslim]

Nah mate but I just reckon they are shite...
Had a thread up a while back about em and most people told me they were a waste of time. I think it will be vastly improved on the standard cup pack suspension or with the eibachs added.

 

[Gaz_]

yep, ditch the gaz, get the springs, mucho better

 

[Ali]

Better. I was impressed with those springs, better to drive than my old 172 on coils...*(On the road anyway)
