View Full Version : SPRINGS (ADVICE PLEASE!!)
right ive head the car serviced today, and they founf that the OSF spring is snapped, also been told that its best to do the pair if one has gone(i can understand why). but what are the best prices out there for springs??, heard that the eurocarparts ones are crap? how much are the genuine renault ones??? and bear in mind i wast them to be the standard ride height...

they are £80+ each from renault :shock:
you can try get the cup springs , they only lower by 5mm (practically nothing), and on CS, cup owners are desperate to git rid of theirs.
i got me a set for £30 that have covered less than 15,000 miles, look almost brand new. its a much cheaper option.
Will cup/172 springs fit onto valver shocks? has anyone tried?
I priced some new reno springs about a month ago £92.00 each inc vat.

Yes!
172 springs are exactly the same as 16v/Williams, the cup ones are slightly lower.

You dont want 172 springs. Might as well fit valver hubs and 1.4 ball joints.
so can you beat his price then????
There exactly the same though so why pay extra from Renault for "williams" springs, when they'll only give you a spring for a 172 labelled "williams".
Buy em from someone whose lowered there generally low mileage 172 and save yourself a packet.

I think there was a certain irony in his post as valver hubs and 1.4 ball joints are the same parts too.

You won't have any trouble spotting the difference between the fronts and the rears, trust me.
They are black yes, with colour markings to distinguish them, Williams/172 are white/white.
Mat.
