Cup Chassis VS no Cup Chassis

[mark_1873]

I think I'd go for the sport over cup if I was going to get one. My old 197 with 'sport' suspension had more control over uneven ( talking roads that are in really back nick here ) surfaces in comparison to the cup chassis.

That and the fact I'm not so keen on the red Brembo's

Cup chassis makes round-abouts playgrounds....

Yea, but so does non cup suspension

Neither is a bad option in all fairness. Shame renault deny us the optimum day to day set-up, cup rack with sport suspension.

I have a non cup 197, driving about 25 kilometres to work on pretty good roads, done 70k km during 2,5 years and I think it is stiff enough for me, I will not be ordering cup chassis with my next clio ( plans are to get a 200 ) but would definitely get cup chassis if I was ordering a 250 for sure,

I want the same as you. The cup suspension isn't the best compromise for UK roads. The non cup puts power down easier IMO.

Cup or nothing. Softies choose sports.

or oldies!! :mellow:

Cup chassis all the way. Even if not for driving, the better stance and the red brembos do it for me

Someone has already linked to the thread I started on the same topic and I'm still very glad that I got the cup chassis, don't regret it at all!

Cup or Sport, I've driven both and they are both good, either way, it's still a fab' car.

It "makes" the car if you ask me... do you want a reasonably quick Clio or a road weapon... thats as much difference as i saw on the with or without debate

Did you try both before/since buying ?

Do you read the post in which a user tell that the cup suspension for model year 2010 is different compare to the 2009 model? It seems that at very low speed the car is more comfortable
I think that probably Renault use some progressive different spring....

If there was no cup chassis I would not have a 200, I would still have a 182 Trophy.
