I'm replacing the steering rack on my car due to a major leak, whilst I am on I'm going to replace the suspension/components so I can fully enjoy one of the cars best features!
I've just bought now front shocks, bottom arms and top mounts tonight.
my question is, should I replace the springs they have both been replace around 14,000 miles ago but this is around 8 years ago?, original front springs are around £90 each.
the genuine rear shocks are pretty expensive too, I am sure I still have my old clio 182 suspension kicking around are these the same?
are there any other options people go for, I have heard 172 stuff is the same/similar but I would prefer to wait and get the correct bits
Thanks
