Standard shocks vs koni adjuatable?

[Johno_c]

Basically my rear koni adjustables are fubar!! Do i have the refurbed or go back to genuine? Thoughts from people with experience.

Car has H&R springs and whiteline ARB if it makes a difference?

 

[Goodj]

Depends on the relative costs I suppose.

 

[Dannyeff]

is koni not unlimited warranty?

 

[Johno_c]

cant find reciept for konis

 

[Johno_c]

costs arent far apart, easier to replace as not many people refurb

 

[imprezaworks]

Plus the time with no car

 

[Johno_c]

up in the air garage anyway, just in process of changing engine wiring loom.

 

[Johno_c]

so anyone used koni adjustables and std shocks?

 

[Johno_c]

So my options are
New konis £200
OE £100
Or aftermarket £50

all pairs

The Clio 172/182 out handled a whole range of competition when on sale, I see no need to upgrade. For fast road the cars handling is amazing as standard...

 

[RS Charlie]

Genuine only IMHO.

 

[DannyR]

OE only, renaultpartsdirect.co.uk and it's only £70

 

[Johno_c]

OE only, renaultpartsdirect.co.uk and it's only £70

Is that the pair? best i can see is £100

 

[Johno_c]

just looked, thats a cracking price! gonna check on refurb price and if stupid gonna get them i think

 

[DannyR]

Why would you buy refurb if new are that price?!

 

[MarcB]

I would personally go Standard OE.

On the other hand if you had the Invoice for the Konis and they had been covered under warranty then fair enough.

Why are the 172 cup shocks cheaper than the 182 oe shocks(£85.40) on that Renault parts direct site? If I buy the 2 172 cup shocks for £72.84 will they fit my 182 non cup?

 

[Russ_16v]

Yes, 172 cup shocks (As far as I am aware) fit all Clio 172 and 182s excluding the 182 cup and cup packed cars and the Trophy.

Does anyone have a part number for rear shockers for 172 Cups? I am trying to see what I can sell them for.

I can also get Koni if it helps mate, I can usually only do about 5% off RRP mind

@Russ_16v

OE part number i get is - 82 00 662 257 - RRP £53.00+vat (Without any sort of discounts)

 

[Russ_16v]

@MarcR™ - Cheers mate, so that is definitely a Cup version shock, not a normal 172/182 rear shock?

Taken from a Ph2 172 Cup Reg & Chassis number on the Renault parts system

 

[Russ_16v]

Legend! thank you - I understand the Cups have the stiffer rear shockers and I'd hate to think I had the number wrong and was supplying softer shockers than customers were expecting!

I'm confident I would be able to sell these for about £40

 

[DannyR]

From what I've seen before 172/172 cup rear shocks are the same part?
