Thanks for that :biggrin: - have to say I am tempted to try some eibachs. S22jgs - have you got a non cup pack 200 aswell?

Many thanks for the feedback. Personally I'd rather not pay out for KW V3 as they were an option I considered when I found the cupped 200 too stiff but the cost to change to a brand new non cup 200 was the same as buying and fitting the Kw's so went for a new car. I also doubt I'd ever...

I have heard that changing the springs and not the dampers is not a brill idea - is that the case? What is the ideal amount to lower the car by? Basically I am mainly thinking of changing due to looks 8) providing the ride isn't too much stiffer then it should be fine (had a cup pack 200...

Hi Guys, I am after a bit of advice from you ;/ I have a 200 without the cup pack and would like to know how (other than the actual lowering of the ride height) would the car differ from how it drives/rides/handles now if I had lowering springs e.g. as offered by Ktec fitted? Many...

The 133 is a brilliant car and the fact that it won what car? tests against the likes of the 500 must mean something. For me the 133 cup pack set up is ideal - not too hard but planted and awesome fun. Problem is that I now wish my 200 was a little bit stiffer and sharper than it is (non cup...

Had kangarooing on the 197 but the 200 has maybe done it once since I've had it - both cars run on V power since new. I thought they addressed this issue with the tweaks to the 200 :nope:

Scary to think that it has taken nearly five years for decent exhaust tips to come available for 197!! :001_unsure:

That sounds soo good!!!!

The rear one helps make the exhaust tips look less 'in your face'

I am too much of a wimp to go above 85 really :( (can't loose my licence) But I know what you mean these cars have so much more to give at 'legal' speeds, it is very tempting. I think we need to get the government to build more tunnels at least then we can have some fun in 1st and 2nd gears...

Thanks for the kind comment. No, actual stainless steel trims from a custom exhaust supplier :thumbsup:

Here is my rear end!! :biggrin:

Had a 200 with a cup pack and now have a 200 without a cup pack!! Basically I found the cup pack really hard and experienced a constant small resonance/vibration through the car on anything but smooth roads. Yes the cup pack feels so planted and inspires confidence but if you have never...

At least you have the cup pack - which lowers the height and therefore the exhausts a bit so they look OK. With mine being non cupped the exhausts seemed to look too high and made the car look like a wheelbarrow!!!!

True but I prefer the smoother subtle end of the 197 ;/

Who said a Hybrid had to be boring and environmentally friendly??!!

Hi all, Been a member for a couple of months and likin it very much!! The cars on here are stunning :drool: Anyway I was asked for some pics when I joined up and finally got a chance to take some today, so here it is: (not sure on how to get the pics to appear in the message box...

I think its the revving, the noise and the overall renaultsport package which makes the N/A desireable in its current form.

Currently 23.1 mpg!!!!

Got to agree with all that is said - don't drive the car for a week and when you do :clap: As for the 'comfort' thing, non cup pack is the way to go on that!! Still turns in corners very well but actually goves over bumps rather than through them!!!!
