cornering

I'm thinkng of changing my 16" trophy turinis for road and hopefully future track use, i just wanted to ask is there a noticable difference in handling acceleration etc going to some 15" td pro race 3's? I'm off to collect a set tomorrow!

Anyone know if he's on holiday? Tried getting a hold of him yesterday and today with no luck.

HELP my n/s/f shocker is leaking does any one know who has a set for sale or who knows where to get them reconned?? thanks

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...

My spare Sachs are due back from Cornering Force in the coming week, has anybody renewed the rubber gaitor that goes inside the spring to protect the shaft? I can use the ones already on the car but it would be good to fit new to the refurbished dampers really. Do Renault still supply them? I...

Hi I've just refitted my Sachs after CF serviced them and like at least one other person on here they seem incredibly firm. Now I've owned my T for about 5 years and I've driven lots of other Ts so I have a pretty good idea of what's normal, and quite frankly my Sachs dampers currently feel...

Put the Trophy in for its annual service/MOT and it turns out BOTH front springs are broken and a rear damper is leaking. Car had basically sat for 6 months straight beforehand so I am surprised. Front dampers are fine with no leaks (they were refurbed last August). My questions to you good...

For sale here is Clio Trophy #181 of 500 , the car was first registered in 2005 and is on a 55 plate, it has currently done approx 95k miles. Car was bought only a few months ago as a weekend car/run about and has seen very little use, I’ve probably only done around 1k miles in it, in fact it...

Which tyres offer the best value & performance in 205/45/16? I only use the T for weekend fun so road noise & wet weather capabilities are of no concern, I just want great performance & value for money. Of course, they have to be road legal too! Suggestions & recommendations most appreciated.

How many clicks are best for road use as I just had mine refurbed the seem very solid ?? Thanks in advance

Hello Selling my sachs front dampers due to selling my 182, they are in very good condition for what they are, no score marks and are both rock solid. Was intending to get them powder coated and check over at cornering force, and if needed a quick refurb. £400

I’m selling number 320. Edinburgh, near the airport and happy to pick you up. Excellent condition, paintwork excellent and interior spotless. I planned to keep it and looked for a very good one without worrying about mileage. Over the last few months I have started the process of refreshing...

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...

I'm looking for a pair of 182 Cup dampers to fit while I have my Sachs refurbed! Does anyone have a pair ? Many thanks Pete

Need some quick expert advice please I have a 182 cup pack. Been offered front trophy suspension with hub only thing is the one damper needs repairing. My question is it worth getting just front and how much to repair generally Cheers

Hi, I've just had my dampers back from Simon at Cornering Force and don't hesitate to fully recommend his service. They are now 'unpinned' and so I want to try and understand what the adjuster actually does and to what degree. Does anyone have a damper curve for the Sachs at different levels...

So my nearside shock failed a few weeks ago and got sent off to Simon st cornering force for a rebuild + powder coating. I decided to go for yellow to match the rear konis and also got a set of sportlines to go on them, so I googled the colour code for the konis and passed them on to Simon...

I've owned #207 since September 12, having owned #383 before, so its about time for an update. The car was in excellent condition when I picked it up and only needed a few bits doing! New exhaust mounts fitted and AeroTwin wipers on arrival home. I had ordered new set of Speedlines from...

Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question. Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...

Hi All, I have had a set of front dampers refurbed and im looking to replace the dust guards also to keep the crap out. Renault dont sell them, has anyone found a good alternative ?

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...

Hello all! After a flirtation with a 182 some time ago I have decided it is time to investigate the best of the breed and have just become the new owner of Trophy #051. Seemingly the first item I will need to attend to is a refurb of the distinctly tired Sachs dampers and have already spoken...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows if OHLINS do a front shock for the trophy/cup ? As im contemplating changing from Sachs due to costs of new units Cheers

Recently purchased from Feirny for both the Bedford trackday on Saturday 16th (where it performed absolutely faultlessly, & allowed me to have a flipping awesome day!!) and to replace the R32, I’ve now been informed that a Clio is not really suitable for work/car allowance purposes anymore. As...

Hi guys. im thinking off the idea of getting front and rear strut braces for the trophy. but do they actually need them. does anybody think they improve the handling?? I'd like some input from people who have fitted them. thanks for looking

Hi guys. my n/s/r shocker has failed and lost all its fluid. would you recommend a refurb or replacement?? i recently called Renault to get one but they don't seem to be able to price me up the correct Sachs damper. the car is really bad to drive at the moment. thanks for looking

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...

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...
