New 197 owner.

Hi guys just thought id make a post here I just picked up my 197 and after having 2 megane r26s and a 182 I am a little surprised as this standard suspension doesn't seem as good as I expected during fast road driving(all brand new replaced suspension setup) is there any mods people suggest to tighten the steering up? What springs are people using on these? I had cooksports on Megane number 1 and h n rs on Megane 2 and clio 182 all was amazing.

What do u guys think?

Before I purchased the car it had a full gearbox refresh (new clutch and slave), Cambelt water pump and dephaser, it had alternator and battery and full suspension refresh including rack ends and inner ties hubs and everything.

Have you got cup or non-cup dampers? Cup dampers are stiffer.

Hmm how would I tell? What springs do people use on these

welcome

I would guess that you have non-cup suspension as you have silver brake callipers.

If you change the springs to something that is non-Renault you will probably lower the car by about 20mm and sharpen things up.

If you want to spend a bit of cash you could get some coilovers to really sharpen up your suspension.

Can I buy cup dampers and some springs

Yep.

The dampers are reasonably cheap.
