    BC Racing Coilovers & My Trophy

    When one of my Sachs failed recently I was in a real dilemma over what to do. To have them refurbished is the best part of £500 just for the front two shocks and there’s no real warranty on the repair. Combine that with the horror stories of people having them refurbished just for them to either...

    Refurbished Sachs dampers

    Gauging interest really, I had my spare pair of Sachs back from Cornering Force today, but have again been thinking of a set of coilovers and keeping the current dampers in the shed if I sell the car. They have been blasted and power coated, matched and unpinned, the total bill was just shy of...

    Cooksport Springs in Brief

    These are a hot topic at the mo so thought I'd post up my thoughts... I have now had Cooksports on my T for a week now. A point to note, my front Sachs dampers are in good condition, refurbed recently and no leaks... Rears however are cup shocks, awaiting new Sachs/Koni's to go on. Ride -...

    Need help with important decision

    Just brought a trophy and one of my front sachs has gone :( plus I have snapped a spring. Been advised by bg that its best to get both done at the same drive in and out cost around £700(without springs) I've read some people are switching them out for h&r's/spax rsx kits and I'm swaying...

    Off to 519 Automotive on Thursday......

    Well eventually I have gotten round to fitting my new Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 tyres to go alongside the K-Tec exhaust and induction kit already fitted. So on Thursday I am paying a visit to Dan at 519 Automotive to sort suspension and brakes. On the list is a set of Spax RSX fully adjustable...

    RS Twingo - H&R coilover question

    Hi guys. I'm contemplating some decent coilovers for my RS Twingo but have a question or two... The Twingo is based on the Mk2 Clio platform, with the rear beam axle having the usual clio style seperate springs and dampers. Front suspension is set to similar angles as the Trophy and shares...

    Anyone using AST suspension on their Trophies ??

    Hi guys , I had thought that I would go for the Nitron Damper setup that K-Tec are developing for the Trophy but have read great things about AST. And I just wondered if anyone on here has them fitted and what they think ? Cheers Neil

    Damper choice

    My T is on Cup dampers and crappy lowering springs and I'm considering what's the best plan. I don't think the price of new Sachs will ever be reflected in the car's value, so what's the general consensus - fit a decent set of coilovers, or leave it on the Cup dampers but swap the crappy...

    Not really using the Trophy at the moment (twice in 6 weeks), so if someone else wants it as is, they can have it, if not, I will strip everything of worth from it at some point over the next few months and keep the shell and running gear in the barn. This is my 2nd Clio Trophy. Having...

    Cup vs Sachs vs Coilovers

    If a head-to-head test was conducted to assess Cup, Sachs and say H&R Coilover dampers, I wonder if we are able to say what the results would be on the road and track? I like the idea of the Cup dampers because they are so cheap (circa £100/pair) and must be pretty good. I like the Sachs...

    Life after Sachs??

    Following on from some other topics and comments regarding Sachs and rebuilds, has anyone changed the Sachs for something else, if so what are the options? I know the Sachs are the selling point of the Trophy, but as there is a lack of new stock and the refurbs do not seem to last I am...

    Xenons

    Just a quick one........ Had 2 182's in the past and like the look of the xenons. Looking to buy a trophy in the next couple of days and wondered if xenons can be fitted. From what I read, to pass the MOT you need the washers too, can this be fitted aftermarket too? If anyone has...

    H&R Coilovers - Definately a worthy Sachs replacement.

    Well, after fitting them last week, setting the front camber to -2 degrees negative on Friday and doing the Llandow trackday with CS yesterday, i can safely say that the H&R's are very worthy replacement to the Sachs. Handling is nigh on exactly the same as the Sachs/Sportline combo that i had...

    Trophy on Coilovers. Slammed Yo.

    Or perhaps not. This is a Trophy afterall ... Handling > Lowz:up: On Sachs / Sportlines On H&R's Very pleased so far, ride is lovely, far better than the Sachs in fact, which would imply that they are probably a little softer. Havent really pushed it particularly hard as the camber/toe...

About 36k old, the left side one s in rock hard/perfect working order, right one s on its way to die and would definitely need a refurb. I'm not going for a rebuilt...
