nice, any advice on the suspension?

 

[Fred@BTM]

if you don't want coilovers then koni adjustable and eibach sportlines

 

[allanmcm]

searched for them, seem to be more expensive than coilovers, how to they compare to standard cup suspension? any links to best place to buy them?

Personaly I'd stick with stock bushes there much better IMO

as for suspension stock or spend a lot

Springs don't realy need changing


dampers are 50 a side ish so 200 for a full set

You should at least chnage the back or front at the same time

 

[allanmcm]

not to bad then, didnt relise springs wernt prone to wear like the dampers

 

[Fred@BTM]

they can and do crack though, a koni/eibach setup is going to be £500, a coilover setup is £1K

 

[allanmcm]

when i phone renault to order my bushes, what exactly do i ask for?

 

[allanmcm]

got what i think is a good price for front and rear shocks,both front wishbones with bushes and ball joint for £288, anything else i shld get to take the car back to just left factory handling? an more bushes etc?
