By about 3mm or something. Its negligable.

''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.
