standard williams springs

[nhasey1602]

just bought some springs from euro car parts but have a bad feeling that they are not the right ones. they measure 15 inch from top to bottom can anyone tell me if they are right or he has just sold me normal clio ones? cheers

Just measured standard willy coil, from point to point with tape through centre of coils measures exactly 13".

Cheers mate for that they've sold me the wrong ones they don't have a clue there

dont be too hasty, 172 springs are the same as willy ones but uncompressed they are longer, its imo the poundage that needs to be correct, only real way to cheque is to fit and check ride height and feel

The ones from ECP will never be the correct ones.
Renault only.

It's 13" uncompressed. It's not new but even an old one wouldn't be 2" different. Poundage is crucial so standard williams coils from renault have 2 white marks to identify them. I think 172 have one white, one yellow. Don't know how a pattern part would be identified and would have to be significantly different to be that much longer. I will count coils tomorrow if you want, it may have more coils/smaller diameter rod. Don't know what you paid for them but Renault springs are in region of £75 each.

Coil not new, but in good condition and the ride and handling were spot on.

cheers for all the help then, does anyone know what the ones from gsf are like or am i just better off sticking to renault. noone would have any used ones would they
thanks again nathan

If your looking for used ones your better off trying to get some 172 ones as they are newer and exactly the same.
