Yep on my way to work there is quite a sever dip on one of the roads and with the Eibachs I would literally bounce in the air off the drivers seat! I think it was mainly from the rear and again it could just be 'too much spring' for the standard damper to control. My other car, (Cayman GTS) is...

STeve@Edge Have you ever re-trimmed the standard RS197 seats in leather/alcantara? I don't have Recaros in mine and actually quite like the fit and comfort of my standard seats but the fabric material has worn thin on the drivers seat bolster and I quite like the idea of a full retrim. LOL...

Quick update. New shocks (Cup fronts, Standard rear) and Eibach springs fitted a few weeks ago. Handling feels pretty good (cornering etc) and liked the new lower ride height, but on the bumpy back roads I drive to work on, the car just felt a bit too bouncy. Maybe cup rear dampers would have...

Just ordered std rears and cup fronts from Kamracing... I think this will work OK....

Just found out std 200 dampers are softer than std 197. Back to thinking of std 197 rear damper and cup 197 fronts.... Will it ride better though on B14's? I don't mind it being a bit firmer, (my Cayman is pretty firm), as long as its controlled on not bouncy/crashy.

Are standard 200 dampers firmer than standard 197? Are the rear dampers the same between both cars? Could I fit rs200 standard rear dampers to my RS197 (assuming they are still not as firm as 197 cup dampers)?

OK so I am planning on refreshing my Clio 197 suspension. I originally planned on new std (non cup) shocks and Eibach springs. I have received the Eibachs but the standard front shocks I ordered from RPD are out of stock and they do not now when they will get more stock in! (Kamracing is also...

£200.:smirk: Why are you selling them? Curious as about to do a suspension refresh on my 197 (originally planned new std shocks and Eibachs springs but everywhere is out of stock of standard front shocks with no delivery date as yet!) I originally planned on B14's but thought they would be...

After a few 'Akrapovic' searches on this forum I think that may also drone more than I'd like so I have just bought a used standard one off ebay that looks almost brand new! I think as its used as a daily I just want minimal noise. My other 'fun' car has a sports exhaust which is very loud but...

Yup standard manifold, (although maybe that isn't in great condition either?) When I bought the car it had standard exhaust but centre silencer delete which gave a flat spot and also did not sound great so soon after buying it I fitted the cat back resonated Scorpion. In hindsight I should have...

Does the Akrapovic drone during normal driving?? I have the resonated Scorpion on my 197 which drones more than I like. I recently had the centre resonator cut out and replaced with a larger Jetex 5" diameter round silencer. This has made a slight improvement but still not as much as I would...

Yiannis - What size tyres do you run on the OZ 8" wheels, 215 or 225?

Fitted Scorpion resonated. Sounds good, not too much louder (as my car had the centre section replaced with a straight pipe by the previous owner). It does however drone a bit more than I’d like :( Hopefully with a few miles on it it will drone a bit less? If not I may get the centre pipe...

Thanks Jimmy, I have literally just ordered a new one from Demon Tweeks :)

I was literally about to order a resonated Milltek for my 197. Having second thoughts now. Anyone have any views on a resonated Scorpion? I just want an exhaust that sounds a bit better than standard but not much louder.

Gutted to see this. I feel like I have just been raped by Richard Sanders Renault Northampton. Took car to them last week due to vague steering and check esp light coming on. They diagnosed the issue as play in track rod arms and worn threads between inner and outer, (although they fitted a new...

I have a brand new lower ball joint available. I just bought a set of 2 uppers and 2 lowers from R-Sport. However it turns out I need a complete new hub on my N/S which comes with the ball joint pre-fitted so I now have 1 spare. Price from R-Sport was £57.53 + £12 postage. It's available for...
