    ''Springs:
    Option 1 Buy from Renault: Approx £160 the pair
    Option 2 Buy from aftermarket specialist who will make OEM 'copied' springs circa £100 the pair (search for a post by mark ritchspeed - he mentioned this many years back - from memory he also mentioned what company could make them).
    Option 3 Buy Low mileage 172 (NON CUP) Springs from people selling on cliosport (they are the same as the Williams springs denoted by two white dots) - Normally go for £30 - £50 the pair
    Option 4 Buy Low mileage 172 Cup springs from people on Cliosport (denoted by one white and one yellow dot). Slightly stiffer than Williams OEM springs (5-10%) and slightly lower too (3-5mm) - Normally go for £30 - £50 the pair''

    I would get the cup springs, they do the job nicely....

    This is my old valver with them fitted, standard ride height and dampers.
