250 Fitting H&R Springs

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by Ben Jones, Oct 3, 2017.

  1. I've had a search but can't seem to find a how to on fitting lowering springs on a 250. I've got spring compressors and have done it on a previous car but like to have a step by step guide to follow so wondering if there is one hiding anywhere?
     
  2. I'll be keeping an eye on this, I've just ordered a set of h&r springs too
     
  3. ill be fitting some to my trophy too!
     
  4. I have a set waiting to be fitted. Debating on fitting myself or getting the garage to fit them. A proper how too guide would be good
     
  5. I thought the same but I think I've now decided to take it somewhere. I did my 225 ones a few years ago and had a mare on the drive. I can't be bothered with that again
     
  6. seems a few of us in need...who's going to brave it first and write it up? :smile:

  7. I vote for the guy that has newest low milage car as it will be the easiest to strip down. Mines a 10 plate on 91k so I'm out

  8. Can you not just ask a technician at a Renault garage?
     
  9. Surely you can Waltz into a Renault garage and go and ask a Renault tech? Getting quotes at the mo, the first I've had is off a local Renault specialist £192. How does this compare to what others have paid?
     
  10. Mark at Midlands Renault Specialists fitted my springs. £120.
     
  11. I've been quoted £100 for just the fronts doing at a local garage. Rears are a piece of p*ss.
     
  12. hmm sounds like I need to do some shopping around
     
  13. Do the rears yourself. As mentioned they are genuinely a piece of piss. Then get a garage to do the fronts. Will save you an hours labour I suspect.

    I remember doing them on my Clio 172 years ago (fronts). Never again. Not that diffucult but stuck bolts etc are a royal pain in the bumhole.
     
  14. My local garage quoted me £220.. Well that's the standard price they charge to do springs on any car apparently.

    Might have to shop around
     
  15. I've had a quote from Beanie Sport for £216 and Mark Fish at over £400.

    Anywhere you guys can suggest around London?
     
  16. Armstrong autos in Luton quoted me £150

  17. I've contacted a lot of garages in and around Warrington and RS tuning and they're all quoting around 3 hours and roughly £60 an hour. I'm booked in for next week. Someone said midlands Renault offered what seems like a very good price of £120 but I messaged them over a week ago and had no reply and its a fair distance from me anyway.
     
  18. Contacted them, and they quoted me the same. Thanks for the recommendation, didn't realise they were Renault specialists until I found their site.

    Have you had any work done there previously?
     
  19. mines been done!
