Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by Matthewdemin, Aug 14, 2019.

  1. my shocks is 90k mileage and I think they are not good already
    what can you advice me to order !!

    car use like daily car
    I like stock suspension but height:disappointed:
     
  2. Standard CUP dampers and H&R spring.

  3. But what about grams springs?
    On hr at all photos back sits lower than front. It's looks ugly I think
     
  4. pretty much this..My mate has just done this to his mk3,
    and reports the ride has not changed,but has lowered the car nicely.
     
  5. DV8

    DV8

    Grams springs all the way for me :wink:
     
  6. what he said!..got my grams and H/R mixed up!!
     
  7. Could you add some photos from side on grams please
     
  8. and also why you all do not recommended b14 kit :blush:

  10. many say its actually a downgrade from the cup set up
    .And to be fair,you have to spend a lot of money to improve any Renaultsport suspension.
     
  11. this is DV8`s car..so thats how the grams sit.
     
  12. looking great
     
  13. I an really surprised to hear it
     
  14. not set up for crappy UK roads.
    This is the genius of Renaultsport suspension..it can work in all environments,to a level most manufacturers cannot match.

  15. you are probably right
    springs + cup new dampers and it will be an excellent setup
     
  16. Do you know that KEMRACING ?
    is it trusted supplier ?
     
  17. very much so..you are in safe hands.
     
  18. forget that last post!..i see now this is for cup struts with grams springs!
    looks like a very good price,
    R26 oem eibach springs alone are £400 for 4!!!
     

  19. yes I write them today! and he say it is original cup struts(I check all part numbers) and grams springs!!!
     

  20. I don't know why but rofag have price only for 4 struts X2 time higher
    that's why I really surprised and ask about that company))
     
  21. kam are very well known..so you are safe.

  22. RPD have the cup dampers at £81 each for front and £39 rear..
     
  23. Do you have link?
     
  24. DV8`s car with this set up has just come back from Spa and the Ring.
    The car was excellent,with no change in the ride comfort,but super sharp handling.
     

  25. What camber and toe he have?
    I also order camber top mounts
     
  26. he has
    no adjustments
     
  27. Ok Thank you
     
  28. I talk today with Ktec racing that's what they said about b14 kit

    "we would not say b14 kit is a downgrade in compare with cup :grin:

    I'm confused already:joycat:
     
  29. off course they will..they want to sell it to you!
    If your roads are super smooth,then maybe it will work.But Renault are the masters of a ride that is as good a compromise for all scenarios.Why would you want to go stiffer for road driving??...
    As i said,DV8`s car was brilliantly poised at spa and the ring on cup dampers.
    Several guys that went with him,commented on how stable the car looked at high speed.
    What more do you want,unless you are going track orientated.

    Ktec was just answered the question that I asked a few weeks ago
     
  31. you have made the right move..good choice!

  32. thank you and for your advise
    I can’t wait until they arrive and I will put everything on the car

    also
    what will give me aftermarket front sway bar like Whiteline or Superpro?
     
  33. not any point Mathew,wont give you anything extra.A few of the racers have a uprated rear bar,but many say even this doesnt do much for the handling.

    Rear does nothing, Front improves the turn in and looses a bit of roll
