Standard shocker lifespan?

[Dan_cup]

Hey up guys.

Basically was planning on fitting coilovers to my 182 in near future but thinking perhaps this may be overkill for me plus £700+ for decent set is quite a bit.

So i thought well maybe some eibachs will do the job but car has done 44k now so may be worth while fitting new shockers as i dont want it bouncying about.

Its non cup model so would ktec be best place to go to or are renault worth a shot?

or you could try Ktech Coilover set which is about £400.. cause by the time u buy the eibachs and all new shocks it will be about £250 i think

True but £250 isnt much really so i like that idea

 

[Damo_Sport]

What Daniel said.

Why not buy the eibachs and get them fitted and then wait for the shocks to run their life! they have been off the car for the last 12k or so because I had coilovers on it for just over a year!

My old 1.2 Clio was running for 64k on standard shocks and then a further 40k on the same shocks with 60mm lowering springs! I wouldn't worry about it mate

 

[Dan_cup]

ok mate no probs cheers fo extra info

 

[Luke.]

At least that way you will be saving a fair bit

I had H&Rs on my clio cup and they did make the car sit great but the right was a bit too firm to justify a couple trackdays a year.

I will once again be planning on a few track days but coilovers seem even more expensive nowadays so thats why im thinking springs and fresh shocks if needed
