My H+R 30/40's (Grey) arrived last week - just gotta get the bad boys fitted...(to my Albi 197 NON Cup)

Pics when done as that's what I'm putting them on. Although I do have H&R spacers too.

30mm! They were on the car when I got it, seems huge but looks sweet.

Northwest performance fitted mine for 100 quid. I think that's a great price unless your too far away

Local company fitted mine for £100 to. 4 wheel lazer alignment included in that to.

Hey guys I'm looking at H&R springs. I have a 197 FF with cup chassis. What set up would you recommend? I would prefer the front slightly down on the front?

H&R 30mm/40mm. Sits lovely on these.

How come the drop is more on the rear?

 

[Roary197]

Thinks its just to help get the back end stooped more to match the arch gap when fitting 30/40's, as the front of most non cup (ff)197's I have seen seem to sit slightly higher at the rear than the front to start with.

 

[Willis]

The rear still sits higher than the front as Renaultsport intended, it's just lower all round.

The handling is improved over standard too, but I fitted Cup Dampers at the same time so it's hard to judge the springs alone for me.

 

[Roary197]

How much more do they drop when springs are bedded in mate? Just down to the intended heights ?... are a few twisty b road blasts enough to settle the height or does it take a while after fitment?
Taa

 

[Willis]

Mine was instantly lower. But I'd say over 2-3 weeks she dropped even more and then settled. I've not actually measured the before/after height to be honest, but there is a noticable difference compared to standard. And the difference if you get next to a non-Renaultsport Clio is quite alarming, it makes them look like a Hilux or something!!!

There's some photos on my build thread, think I've linked that on Page 3 of this one.

 

[Roary197]

Good man - off for a butchers (was looking at yours earlier today actually)

Lookin goooood !

 

[Willis]

Hahaha cheers!!! :thumbsup:

I'd say if you can stretch to a new set of Dampers whilst you're at it (~£200) then it's a good time to refresh everything whilst it's all off the car.

Heres a picture of mine on the 40mms

 

[Roary197]

I did think about that bud, but gotta fork out for tax and belt service soon.mines on just over 35k so will see how I get on with std dampers 1st.

Ryan , 40 all round there mate?

 

[ryan197]

There were the first original H&Rs. Either 30/40 or 40/40.

 

[Roary197]

cool thanks (40's/40's I believe - now discontinued?)

Looks rad man! nice stance!

 

[ryan197]

I know ktec stopped selling them, and then started selling the new ones a few months later. I got mine direct from H&R through a local tuning/parts garage. So my advice would be to try somewhere similar near you.
