172 springs

[micmatt313]

Hi there,
i was looking at some springs from a 172 for my williams, the fronts had the 2 white marks on them, but the rears only had 1 white mark on each - can anyone tell me if this is right please?
Cheers

the rear suspension on the williams is differant to the 172 cup. So u dont need the rear springs at all.

The fronts should have two white dots of paint on. These are correct.

Thanks for that
if i want to replace the rear springs as well can you tell me what the options are?
Or do you normally just replace the fronts?

[Justin..]

There are no rear springs. Only dampers

rear has torsion bars but there expensive to buy..renault only i think..

there is one upgrade stiffer bar before buying motorsport bars..

whats the advantage of putting 172 springs on a mk1?

The springs from a 172 are exactly the same as the 16v/williams just easier to find.

some peeps put 17poo cup springs on the Willy as it lowers the rid height a tad and stiffens things up

Yeah, I put 172 cup springs on my car and never really noticed too much difference :S However, I think Danny (the guy who bought my old one) said he could feel the difference. Ride height is lowered about 3mm and higher poundage.
