Right, i know that ph1`s have slightly different lower shock mountings ( straight as opposed to angled on the ph2 )

May sound stupid, but are the hubs themselves the same ???, spoken to afew people who say they are ???

Just seeing of anyone has fitted ph2 hubs to ph1 shocks, etc etc ?

Thanks :)

thanks Andy :agree:, so why did they change the angled on the ph2`s...Slightly more camber ??

Kris, have a look at the camber on my car when you come over...:D

Andy, can I just replace the top mount for a ph1 item to dial out some of that camber ?

yes, just the shocks and top mounts that need to match.

no, to reduce KPI and increase caster

Renault made a conscious effort to ensure that the PH2 handled appreciably worse than the PH1
