I'm not sure thought I would ask here. My car car has non cup shock at the moment (I think)

Hey guys, i was was thinking about upgrading my 197 suspension. At the moment things feel fine but the car is getting on and it looks as though it's still on original dampers. Was thinking cup ones would be a good shout with the H&R Spring?! Only place I've found so far is renaultpartsdirect...

My cars a 56 reg so doubt it's covered under warranty. Done a Google search and apparently it can be related to some switch for the cruise control that's part of the pedal? Gonna get down n dirty in the footwell today and have a snoop about it see if I can see what's what! It definitely wasn't...

The card wasn't in the slot? Strange. Just went and tested it again and started/stopped with one press. back to the clicking though it's really annoying and only noticed it just now after she's drove it :( if if you press it in/out slowly it's fine but makes a click of you use it normally

It's not loud or nasty sounding. Just like and annoying little click? Worst of it is I've only noticed it now after the first time letting the Mrs drive it! It also asked me to press the start/stop button twice to stop which was weird?! Usually just press it once.

Don't know if they've been mentioned but can get uniroyal rainsport 3 for £50 a corner on camskill. theyre a medium range tyre but wet grip is absolutely heroic. Dry grip is spot on as well. Side walls flex a bit but nothing more than I've felt on tyres costing much more! wortha shot for the...

Do they come with all the bolts etc? Will look into bimec

It was the national tyres round the corner from where I live. About £15 cheaper a tyre for continental. was looking on camskill as well and they are a few pound cheaper per corner.. Although that was for the rainsport Uniroyals on Nationals website even things like Dunlop sport maxx rt is £11...

My car has the 30/40 springs on it and I think the wheels just look lost under those arches :( what is the cost cost for a decent set? Was a lot more expensive think it was about £80 a pair?!!

Was wondering this myself! The 225/45/17 is a fair bit cheaper than 215/45/17 wouksnod thought the wider tyres would of aided the grip and stopping levels

Digging up an old post here but is this still a tyre size people use? Noticed myself the 225 is a lot cheaper than the 215 profile. Also you would think the wider tyre would be slightly better handling/stopping etc? talking about on standard wheels. Would it effect the wheel pressure much...

I see. The rear springs say 29103 which I believe is 30/40 drop. Can't see the front numbers without jacking up and getting he wheels off

I've managed to find some part numbers on eBay so will see if I can match them to the springs. What shocks are you running?

From what I've seen on eBay, purple springs can be 40/40 or 30/40 ? heres how the car sits

Thanks for the quick reply. I had a look and just read on the website these are meant to be somewhat comfy ?! I've had lowered cars in the past and these feel OK to be fair. Can be a little bit crashy though! Are these designed to work well with standard non cup shocks ? I thought 30/40 would be...
