I have a question - a little late to ask now as Ive already bought the item, but here goes!!
I have a MK2 172 non cup (need climate and love Xenons - but I do love the Cup and its wheels etc) on an 02 plate, I called ADP to order a set of lowering springs, they were very helpful and said that in their mind Renault had done the best job possible on the Clio Cup set up, i.e. the springs are already perfect and I should buy a set of Cup springs from Renault rather than a set of brand performance springs they could offer. I spoke to my local Renault dealer in Reading (Useless service) and they were going to get back to me as their systems were down!! They never came back, even after 5 days!! In the meantime ADP called me back about other items Im looking at and mentioned that they had a brand new set of (150 miles only) Cup 182 springs that would fit my 172. I double checked with them that my car is a 172 MK2 none Cup not a 182 and they assured me they fit fine and work perfectly as the shock sizes are the same. Well Ive bought them and had them sat in my office for the past month awaiting fitting. Ive now booked the car in this weekend for the spring change over, I just want to be sure before parting with my cash and wasting the mechanics time - are they really going to be compatible (182 Cup springs onto a none Cup 172 MK2)?
I called back Renault today and they asked the colour of the new springs (Black with a small blue & yellow dot on the fronts and Black with a small red & white dot on the rears) they then asked about my fitted springs - well there black but I have no idea on the little spots if any as I cannot see them that well. The dealer then realised I wasnt going to buy from them and said he didnt know as the part numbers are different but as an example the cars share other parts with different part numbers!!! Thanks for nothing!!!
So, anyone able to help? Id be really grateful. With thanks Jon R - loving the new ownership
, just wish I had more time to play in it rather than the boring 4x4 company car that I use in the week! [Edited by JonRossi on 06 September 2005 at 10:57pm]
